God at Home

Good foundations are essential for any building to survive - and for families too. In God at Home, we will find inspirational people who, despite hardship and frequent alienation from the surrounding culture, not only survived but thrived, sharing love, light and hope in their communities and heralding a golden age of faith, art and learning. Each chapter focuses on a different Celtic Saint with reflections and experiences from modern family life. There are also suggestions for families to discuss, create or do together. We explore simple ways in which Christian homes today can also flourish and be beacons of light for others.
