This was one of my most anticipated new releases of the year! In her signature style, Phylicia writes about how she and her family have cultivated a series of liturgies in their home. I typically enjoy personal storytelling within books, but some of her stories felt distracting at times. I appreciated how much scripture was used, but it was usually dropped in without a lot of context. I originally thought I was the perfect audience for the book, but after reading about topics like homeschooling and traditional homemaking, I’m not sure I was. I still enjoyed parts of the book but expected to really love it as I adore her speaking and EWAT work.

This book was a 5 star for me! Phylicia was such a gracious breath of fresh air when it came to talking about the theology of the home and how to not only find simplicity in it, but delight in worship. A favorite read of 2024 for sure!

This book is about finding joy and contentment in the home. Written from a Christian perspective, this was absolutely delightful. The first section of the book focuses on the theology of home - a haven for spiritual rhythms and development - while the second section considers liturgies (actions) of the home such as cooking, cleaning, decorating, and being hospitable that may otherwise seem meaningless or mundane. I appreciated that in addition to listing spiritual rhythms and liturgies, the author offers next steps to actually incorporate the work into the home. A lovely book!

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

As a mom of four, and always trying to find new things that work- this book was absolutely fabulous! I just so loved it! It had such great helpful suggestions and tips. Highly recommend
