Synopsis

Yes, you can love keeping—even cleaning—your home.

Let’s be real. Homemaking is harder than we thought it’d be. Others make it look easy, but we end the day exhausted with so much left to do. We feel unprepared.

This book will shift your perspective on homemaking and guide you through six steps to competently and cheerfully manage your home.

Our homes matter because people matter, and homes are where people are built. Being overwhelmed and paralyzed by perfectionism is optional. We can do better.

If you are a Christian woman who wants to honor God in the way you keep house, this book is for you, no matter how much clutter or chaos currently surrounds you.
