"the good news of the gospel is that the longing for home need not be merely nostalgic. home is not just a real or imagined memory. home is also a promise made by God to His people... as much as this is a promise for the future, it is not only for the future...this is a promise that involves the body as well as the soul. the christian community is not a spiritual club; it is a household, God's own household, whose very sacraments are physical acts evocative of home: a bath and a meal.
a well kept house thus possesses a kind of sacramental quality. it is no substitute for either the kingdom of God or the church. but it is a kind of foretaste of the kingdom. a nurturing and hospitable home can be a reminder that God has always been in the business of making a home for people, that God desires that people should have the food and clothing and shelter associated with home, that one day out tattered and partial provision of these things for one another will be gloriously supplanted by God's perfect provision..."

Of course I ordered this book but haven't opened it yet. What do you think of it?
i got the recommendation from you!
i liked it. it was a little annoying but all very true.
Annoying? That is Molly's favorite word right now, and she uses it out of context all the time. I guess she got it from me. I'm always glad to give recommendations of things I haven't yet read.
