This is my third or fourth reading of this book, and it never fails to inspire me to give my best effort to making our house a home as well as provide contentment in knowing my vocation is so much more than "just a homemaker."
I really do like this book; it's light, but inspiring, and makes you feel like cleaning up at home, baking a loaf of bread, and inviting friends over for coffee and conversation.(Edith Schaeffer is Francis Schaeffer's wife.)

This lovely book should be reread by me more often. Mrs Schaeffer explains how our homemaking can be an art using our creative minds. Her ability to use almost anything to be creative is amazing. Lots of ideas.
Too much God. Not enough art. Could have been distiller down to one paragraph.
