Sacred Dwelling: An Everyday Family Spiritualilty

by Wendy M. Wright

Wendy M. Wright has been called “a genuinely original voice in contemporary spirituality.” Using the home as a backdrop, Wright brings the beauty and depth of the Christian spirit into our ordinary lives. She brings elements such as the garden, attic, and bedroom into her exploration of the human spirit and, consequently, sheds new light on the significance of the family as the “domestic church.” This spiritually enriching book will enlighten you and your family.

This is similar to her other book I read. It is about making special rooms of the house into special places to pray in and have a good spirit for the house and doing church things in your own house.
