Sacred Dwelling: A Spirituality of Family Life by Wendy M. Wright

A Spirituality of Family Life

Christians are familiar with the image of the spiritual life as a journey or pilgrimage or battle. We need the freedom to imagine ourselves not only as

"journeying" but also as "dwelling." Sacred Dwelling is a contemplative walk through the home, allowing the various rooms, pieces of furniture and objects to evoke a sense of the lived experience of inhabiting and being in family, to come upon the ways in which family members sense the presence of the indwelling God and the ways in which they respond to the passionate call of God truly to become transfigured people.

"This is a wonderful book, one of a very few

'classics' on family spirituality...a wonderfully enriching resource for couples and families...I

highly recommend it."

...Engaging, convincing and often moving...unusually accessible to any member of the Christian family... written in a simple, concrete and reverent style that unearths the profound spiritual nature of both the glorious and mundane events of family life."

We are greatly in her debt."
