In poet and photographer Judith Kittredge's debut collection, Holy Homes & Pious Poems, she blends beautiful, plainspoken poems of praise and inspiration with full-color photos of some of the world's most beloved as well as unexpected churches and religious sites. From St. Paul's Cathedral in London and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Brazil to the country churches of Tennessee, readers experience the texture of the world's spiritual landscape through its architecture. Artistically paired with over a hundred original poems of praise and testament, with themes that range from light hearted to profound, Kittredge's book offers a wide range of human emotion and experience. With titles like "Birthday Devotion for a Grandparent," "Rock of Conscientiousness," "Pre-service Meditation," and "Dragon Slayer" there are quiet moments of reflection as well as great big beautiful expressions of faith. Here is celebration of God's love from a Christian perspective, and the best of what the spirit can savor. A sampling of the book can be viewed by googling Judith Kittredge and clicking on the title. The book can be purchased on Blurb if you sign in. The page quality is better, but also more expensive. Blurb also has a smaller black and white version available called Pious Poems & Holy Homes.

Holy Homes & Pious Poems,
By
This review is from: Holy Homes & Pious Poems (Paperback)
If you are looking for a Christmas present that puts Christ back in Christmas, then this book is it. The poems and photos are a beautiful and a heart-warming expression of God's love that you will want to read again and again. Proceeds go to charity, so you are giving twice. Some of the book can be previewed by googling Judith Kittredge and clicking on the title. More expensive, extra deluxe, color, hardback and inexpensive, simpler, smaller, black & white versions are available on Blurb.com, but the best buy for the money is the very reasonable color version that is on Amazon.

The Reason for the Season,
This review is from: Holy Homes & Pious Poems (Paperback)
This book is the perfect example of a Christmas gift that celebrates the reason for the season. The religious poetry is moving, and the photography is stunning. The best part? All author proceeds go to charity. It's like two gifts in one! I can't recommend this book more highly. It is so inspiring, and I guarantee that anyone who receives it will be thrilled!
