Synopsis

Home. It is an elegant word, at once both simple and far-reaching. Home is a place to live in and feel comfortable, but it is much more than that.

Home is where we are nurtured, where we live, and where we love. The language of Home is universal. It is where we find the eternal in the everyday.

But the Home has been neglected. To millions of women today, there is nothing worse than being a "homemaker." If only they knew the supreme value (and reward) of giving loved ones a place to call Home.

Written by two wives and mothers, Theology of Home is a simple guide to help reorient all of us toward our true home, allowing us to think purposefully about how to make our own homes on earth better equipped to get all those living in them to the Father's house. Featuring more than 100 beautiful (and inspiring) photographs from homes around the country, profound words from the saints and other literary figures, and in-depth commentary on the theological and spiritual underpinnings of our love for Home, Theology of Home offers readers a tour of both the Home and the human heart.

Whether you live in a sprawling estate or a humble dwelling, whether alone or with a crowd, this is far more than a book of beautiful photos and great décor ideas. You will also learn how to create a deeper sense of the divine through:

• Creating a welcoming environment that starts with your Door
• Fostering a sense of remembrance through images, scents, and activities that will keep your family recollecting joy, family, and Christ
• Making your home a place for joyful gatherings and spiritual growth through an emphasis on light
• Prioritizing family dinners to feed the body and the soul
• Opening up your Home to those around you, spreading the joy and peace of Christ with your hospitality
• And much more. . .

Discover how beauty and order can bring the eternal to your every day, and help create a path to heaven for those you love most dearly.
