In our post-Christian world, Mrs. Pepito directs readers ways they can create a home that pursues practices that honor God and bring His light into the confused world. She utilizes disciplines Saint Benedict incorporated into his life during the fall of Rome and also examples from godly women in history. Her style is conversational. I loved reading this book and filled it with markers on ideas and phrases I wanted to remember. I may purchase this book. At the end of each chapter are discussion questions, a list books about the chapter's topic/woman, and a simple recipe. The habits and women included are: work & Edith Schaeffer, stewardship & Mary McLeod Bethune, prayer & Amy Carmichael, order & Elisabeth Elliot, simplicity & Sabina Wurmbrand, stability & Ruth Bell Graham, hospitality & Ella "Mama" Tweten, community & Esther Jungreis, & balance & Madeleine L'Engle.
I wish she would have spent more time writing about the above women's lives. She, however, includes recommended biographies about each of them. My TBR list has lengthened drastically after reading this book!!
*Highly recommend.
