Have you made a practice of cultivating a life wherever you find yourself?
The desire to belong somewhere, to make peace with my place, has been a lifelong struggle for me. Can you relate? Placemaker by Christie Purifoy is the book about belonging I needed to read to feel known, understood, and to make sense of my own desires to put down roots in a particular place.
If you’re curious if this book is for you, join me at Christianity Today to read my review of one of my favorite books of the year–Christie Purifoy’s book, Placemaker: Cultivating Places of Comfort, Beauty, and Peace.
An excerpt…
“Purifoy invites readers on a journey to the places she’s called home throughout her life, from her childhood in Texas to her current home, a rambling Victorian farmhouse in Pennsylvania. The trees represent the greater themes of the book: home, belonging, cultivation, rootedness, and legacy. She writes, “I have always longed for roots, and I have always wanted to belong to a particular place.” She invites readers into these particular places and writes of how they made her—and how she, in turn, made them.”
