by Carrie Gress and Noelle Mering
In this second installment of “Theology of Home,” Gress and Mering turn their attention from the home itself to the art of homemaking.
Though there has been a resurgence in the domestic arts and a desire to live a simpler lifestyle, the role of a homemaker is still unpopular. Viewed as an unfulfilling and even oppressive way of life, many women feel a sense of shame in managing the world of their home.
“Theology of Home: The Spiritual Art of Homemaking” turns this misguided notion on its head, shining new light on the role of a homemaker as it relates the deepest truths of the faith with an honest and fearless understanding of the modern world. Rather than looking to the 1950s for inspiration, Gress and Mering forge a new path by looking at the gifts women can offer those they love.
Whether single, married, or a working or stay-at-home mother, discover how to bring beauty, order and vibrancy to the people and place you love most: Home.
