Experiencing Home

"Experiencing home" is an exercise for our memories, sparking the thoughts and senses that shape what we are forever attempting to find or create in our homes. Rentfrow offers an understanding for "home-making" as God's gift and guides the reader toward more inherent than material solutions for finding pleasure and satisfaction in our homes. His dialogue-style of writing is relaxing and reflective. The book inspires a whole new meaning for home and is a great resource for small groups.

enlightened

Great insight into how one should approach building a home. Well worth the time to read. Takes one beyond the cookie cutter design process we are so used to, and helps develop a better understanding of what one needs and finds most comfortable. Highly recommend. Y+The service and delivery of the book was also first rate.

A fine pick me up for those who have wondered what home really is

What is home? It's a loaded question. "...Experiencing Home...: A Guide to Finding Joy in Your Home" is a guide to help readers answer that question for themselves. Hoping to help readers look at their own home, as it is now, and find what they enjoy there and how to better embrace their time there as a place of rest and joy, author Jon Rentfrow applies anecdotes and personal questions towards the readers on each room of the house. "...Experiencing Home..." is a fine pick me up for those who have wondered what home really is.

...experiencing your home...

There is a great deal of difference between a house and a home. A home is not merely a structure where we eat, sleep, and store our stuff, but a place to live life, to experience life. Rentfrow's book guides the reader in transforming the spaces of a house into fulfilling rooms of a home which serve as backdrops to experiencing meaningful, joyous lives.

Thoughtfully Written, Warm, & Necessary

I found this book to be both insightful and refreshing. This book calls for us - causes us - to pause and truly reflect on what experiencing home really means. It doesn't leave us with an empty, unanswered question of what it means, but goes beyond in terms of helping us understand what it means, why it's important, and how to go about it. I found the author's writing to be warm, conversational in style, and engaging. He makes many salient points which I found interesting, unique, and thought-provoking. Stimulating to my thoughts, yet written in such a relaxed and easy manner, I also found it calming. The author draws from both scripture and personal experience. His personal sense of humor is endearing and also makes the book a joy to read. As an avid reader, I will say ...experiencing home...is not just a great read, but a journey and meaningful experience as well; an experience I can choose to engage in again and again. This book has appeal to a wide audience. Regardless of age, gender, social or economic status, whether one owns or rents, this book speaks to both heart and spirit. My recommendation can be taken from the following: I have purchased additional copies to give as gifts.
