Book Review: Must read for Catholic families
Summary: 5 Stars

The Catholic Home: Celebrations and Traditions for Holidays, Feast Days, and Every Day

OK, this book, beyond being wonderfully well written and of a voice that will entertain and educate you, is a GREAT guide for Catholic families.

Written to follow the liturgical calendar, The Catholic Home is part Catechism refresher, history lesson, craft book, recipe book, prayer book and full of world customs to bring a fuller and more complete appreciation of your Christian faith.

The hints of Meredith's personal conversion story from Jewish to Christian are touched on in The Catholic Home, and are fully explored in Why Is There a Menorah on the Altar?Jewish Roots of Christian Worship

Every once in a while, I find a book worth sharing with others. This book is on the list as an unexpected pre-Christmas gift (so my friends can get more out of Advent than every before!!!) on my list. Additionally, I will give this book as a gift throughout the liturgical year.

I have been moved to a deeper expression of my faith thanks to this books tips, guides and thoughts, and know many others who will, too. In fact, The Catholic Home should be required reading for any Catholic family, and sharing it with non-Catholic Christians will likely inspire a deeper understanding in the liturgical calendar, and Catholicism, generally.

Thanks for writing this book, Meredith!
