About Home in the Church:
Home in the Church calls
Catholics living in the modern world back to a distinctly Catholic
way of living and vision of Mother Church as the home on earth that
is leading them to their heavenly home. Catholic Convert, Jessica
Ptomey, describes her journey to a more embodied Christian faith in
the Catholic Church, and she invites readers to the same
experience. She discusses the embodied nature of faith in the home,
in the celebrations of the liturgical calendar, in the liturgy of
the Mass, in personal prayer, in the intercession of the saints, in
the sacraments, and in a redemptive view of suffering.
