This review is from: Treasuring God In Our Traditions (Hardcover)
About all I can do is echo the earlier reviewers... Noel Piper gives amazingly wonderful thought to why we do thing we do, and how important it is to consciously bring God into our daily routine and traditions. I can see she's done it in her family, and her suggestions are wonderful starting points for creating your own traditions. I, too, have been giving this to all my friends as they start their new families.

Traditions & celebrations to strengthen and share your faith, Jan 6 2004
This review is from: Treasuring God In Our Traditions (Hardcover)
A few pages into this book, I started making a mental list of women I want to share it with. The author, Noel Piper, mother of five (four by birth, one by adoption), is the wife of John Piper, renowned pastor, theologian and author. (She is not a pastor herself, as another reviewer has written.) Bits and pieces of her husband's writings add to the book, which is filled with practical suggestions based on the foundation of the Word. I highly recommend this for all women, but especially for newlyweds or those just starting to establish family traditions. To quote Noel, "How much more of God there is to find when we are on the lookout, when we shape our 'everyday' and 'especially' around him. God will show himself in special and new ways when we celebrate him. He will use our celebrations, our traditions, to stoke our heart's fire for him."
