Reminders of God
Altars for Personal and Family Devotion
Description:... A time-honored way to express spirituality in the home Christians began their worship in the early years after Christ's death by gathering in homes to break bread, hear teaching, and pray together. Now, amidst the pressures of ordinary life, a home altar makes a statement about the centrality of God in our homes and also serves as a practical tool for cultivating faith in our daily lives. This book provides a "how to" guide for creating a home altar and also offers creative ideas for variations of the home altar, such as family altars, pilgrim altars for traveling, outdoor altars for garden spaces, and ethnic altars to remember family culture. Grizzle also reveals how the simple home altar can help cultivate the central and profound spiritual disciplines of attention, thankfulness, and remembrance.
