The Liturgical Home
When I was a young mom, I really wanted to find ways to incorporate our Christian faith into our family’s daily life. Sure, we read the Bible together and played Christian songs in the car, but I really wanted more. I began researching and collecting ideas for celebrating the church year in your home. Collecting recipes and traditions from around the world, I compiled them into liturgical living guides to help families celebrate the seasons of the church in their own homes.
