Domestic Religion

Résumé du livre

Enter a teenager's room, or a hobbyist's garage, or a professional's office, and what do you see? Follow that person around. What do you discover? Peter Gardella finds the daily commitments that hold life together. We discover that person's domestic religion.As the author reveals, not every person has a domestic religion. But for those who do, it is rituals and values that keep their lives whole -- in spite of, or even because of, suffering.Written in a conversational style with few notes, the book does not presume any background in religion or any belief system. Instead it takes a walk through life, helping us sift through our world for nuggets of meaning.
