Publisher's summary

Does your home sometimes feel like just a place to eat, sleep, and change clothes on the way to the next activity? Do you long for "home" to mean more than a place where you stash your stuff? Wouldn't you love it to become a haven of warmth, rest, and joy...the one place where you and your family can't wait to be?

There is good news waiting for you in The Lifegiving Home. Every day of your family's life can be as special and important to you as it already is to God. In this unique book designed to help your family enjoy and celebrate every month of the year together, you'll discover the secrets of a life-giving home from a mother who created one and her daughter who was raised in it: popular authors Sally and Sarah Clarkson. Together, they offer a rich treasure of wise advice, spiritual principles, and practical suggestions.

You'll embark on a new path to creating special memories for your children; establishing home-building and God-centered traditions; and cultivating an environment in which your family will flourish.

Enjoyable!

The Lifegiving Home is a must read for all parents, couples, singles, grandparents, or aunts and uncles as it touches on the importance of the spaces we create and the way we invest our time. I especially enjoyed the audiobook version! Some sections of the reading are slower than others but overall it was an enjoyable, insightful, and helpful title.

Great book

Recommend for every wife. Light book to listen to and learn from on how to make your house a home. Btw: don’t be hard on yourself, just create the own culture of your home.

Prepare to highlight!

I loved this book. It has quickly become one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read! I found I needed to physically highlight such a large number of lines that I found a physical copy and read along/highlighted while listening. I will be gifting many friends and family members with a copy of this inspirational book. I feel motivated and encouraged to go forward and create a lifegiving home. I’m glad I found this book when my children are young so I can instill in them many of the same traditions and memories that are listed in this book. Highly recommend!

Inspiring!

Was so inspired to create a home where discipleship and love are present, and where guests feel a breath of life as they walk through my door. Great narrarator, too!

Lovely!

I was able to glean so much from this book. Traditions galore, sweet relationships, comfy spaces for gathering, dinner by candlelight, and so much more! Thank you!

no matter our circumstances we can share God's love in a tangible way with whatever He has given us.

inspired and inspiring

I have been hesitant to get this book, or the other 2 in the series, because of some reviews that said some not flattering things. I have loved other books by Sally, and finally decided to jump into this one. I was not disappointed. Even if I never read the rest of the book, Sarah's words in chapter 2 are an epiphany of sorts, and the book as a whole has been worth every moment I spent listening to it, and then some.
