Theology of Home

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 three 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 Fathers house.
