3.0 out of 5 stars really good as a workbook/textbook; not a coffee table book, December 30, 2008

This review is from: Home Experience, The: Making Your Home a Sanctuary of Love and a Haven of Peace (Hardcover)

so let me say that on balance i think this is a great book. i highly recommend it to any woman who is looking to sharpen her skills and sense of mission in bringing together a sanctuary home. i think that the calling Mrs. Titus feels in bringing women together to revolutionize the sanctity of the home is a great one, and i'm thankful she's doing it.

that all said, i want to clarify (because this wasn't apparent to me when i ordered the book) that this is not "per se" a coffee table book. it is a hardcover book that is coffee-table size, it has beautiful glossy pages and a gorgeous cover. there are a limited number of attractive photos inside (though i don't consider them too different to normal magazine photos).

what this book really seems to be is a workbook, sort of a text-book, of how to put your home together. most pages are filled with (very valuable, but not "coffee-table" artistic) typeface talking in detail about the various homemaking subjects she is writing on.

bottom line: it's a worthwhile, informative Christian guide to building your home. which is great. but it's not a coffee table book in terms of having lots of photography/etc. it's not a book i would leave out for guests to peruse through, because it's intended for serious study.

the one frustration is that i do not actually want to write in this book, it is too nicely put together (semi-glossy pages, hardback) for me to use the workbook portions. i would need to photocopy them. this puzzles me a bit.

This was such a great book - very refreshing. With all of the reading out there on housekeeping, it was nice to read something from a Biblical perspective that renewed my belief that a major part of a woman's purpose is creating a beautiful home....not just one that's asthetically pleasing, but one that is filled with good things and God things! This book has great recipes, great ideas for setting the table and is a great inspiration for "home" makers.

First of all, this book is BEAUTIFUL and would look perfect on any coffee table. Secondly, the content is awesome and any woman would benefit greatly from reading it. It is full of ideas for the home (like cleaning tips) it also has a recipe chapter full of easy to make meals for your family. I have already purchased an extra copy to give as a wedding gift and it was a hit! For those who care (like me) it is packed with pictures and color inside. This one is worth the money!
