Christian formation begins in the home and A Homemade Year gives us ways and means of accomplishing that with joy, holiness, and a healthy portion of just plain, old-fashioned fun.”<br> —Phyllis Tickle, author of <i>The Divine Hours</i> "I began reading A Homemade Year one afternoon when I had no fewer than a thousand things going on in my house. Almost immediately, I was drawn into Jerusalem Greer&apos;s beautiful writing and became fascinated with her journey through an entire year of liturgical celebrations–some of which (Advent, Epiphany) I celebrate in my own home, but some of which I never knew about before. Two hours later, I was still reading, happily resigned to letting my plans for the day slide. Jerusalem so clearly conveys the significance and beauty of liturgical tradition, and her celebration-specific recipes and crafts are sweet and meaningful, while at the same time completely «do-able» for everyone. This book is an absolute treasure. I want to share it with everyone I know!" —Ree Drummond, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of <i>The Pioneer Woman Cooks</i> “Like many moms, I’m longing to create a sense of rhythm and tradition in our lives and our home, and this sweet book gives many imaginative, practical places to start.” —Shauna Niequist, author of <i>Bittersweet and Cold Tangerines</i> “With waffle crumbs and bacon drippings and brown sugar crystals, Jerusalem Jackson Greer leaves a Hansel and Gretel-like path to follow as we travel through the seasons of the liturgical year. A Homemade Year gives families a wonderful sensory way to share and experience the Christian story at home. I was charmed and moved by this book.” —Sybil MacBeth, author of <i>Praying in Color</i> and <i>Praying in Color for Kids</i> “In a world that struggles to slow down and stay focused on what’s really important, A Homemade Year gives you new vision to do just that. I can’t wait to get started myself!” —Courtney Walsh, New York Times bestselling author of <i>A Sweethaven Summer</i> and <i>Scrapbooking Your Faith</i>
