Holy Hygge by Jamie Erickson | Review

In her book Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow, Jamie Erickson explains the concept of hygge and how we can incorporate it into our lives. In addition to learning about the practice, she also teaches readers how to use the methods to make their home a place that honors and reflects Christ. 

Erickson explains that the Gospel and hygge have the same basic markers: hospitality, relationships, well-being, welcoming atmosphere, comfort, contentment, and rest. In each chapter, she goes over one of the markers and explains both the hygge and Gospel connection. She also gives plenty of useful, practical ways to put each into practice, so you have a starting point for how to apply this information when you're done reading the book. She gives both seasonal and everyday ways to put these into practice. Every chapter ends with questions, verses, and a prayer. 

This is written for Christian women specifically, more likely for those with families who entertain. However any woman can use these principles in her home.

This was the perfect book to read as the weather gets colder and we begin to make our houses cozier. I really enjoyed learning how to not only make my home cozy and inviting, but how to use those methods to show love for my neighbors and show the love of Christ. I enjoyed reading this and gave it 4/5 stars.
