"I found this book quite insightful and helpful. It is a welcome addition to our understanding of healthy family life."-- John Bradshaw, author of Family Secrets

Product Description

Many modern seekers search the world in quest of spirituality and peace. Gradually, however, they come to realize that spirituality, happiness, and satisfaction are not found "out there" in the world, but right in our own homes and in our hearts. In this simple book, Mitchell examines ways to make our homes more nurturing and spiritual for ourselves, our family, and our friends. 30 illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Was Looking For!!!, August 27, 1998

By A Customer

As a stay-at-home mom I lead a pretty busy life in my house. Everyday I deal with the clutter and the stress of raising my child and helping my husband get out the door each morning for work. This book helped me get a real perspective on life. It comforted me and inspired me to get a hold on the activities in my household. I actually began to look at our lifestyle and clutter-filled house in a whole new light. It is a wonderful book that will put a smile on your face, give you a feeling of peace, and also give you practical helpful advice. I enjoyed it very, very much!!! :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical and simple ideas., December 22, 1998

By A Customer

I thought the book was enjoyable to read and has some good suggestions on ways we can treat ourselves better and slow down our lives. A wide variety of topics is covered and references to further reading are noted if there is one area that is of interest (journaling, altars...). The book has good ideas for creating special places within our homes for us and everyone else to feel comfortable and relaxed.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT HOUSEWARMING GIFT!, August 1, 2002

By	"medschoolgirl" (Mobile, AL USA) - See all my reviews

I'm actually the author's neice, so I read the book when it first came out in 1996. However, I got married a year ago and reached for the book again to get inspiration for turning my new 'house' into a 'home'. This book is fun and easy to read and it is full of good ideas for decorating, living, and developing family traditions. I would recommend it as a wedding gift, a housewarming gift, or just a 'feel good' read. The cover is attractive and looks great on a guest room nightstand!
