Make Space for Discipleship in Your Home and in Your Heart
In our world's eyes, homemaking means curating picture-perfect living spaces-but biblical homemaking is so much more. It's stewarding the ministry that happens at home. It's nurturing relationships with the warmth of hospitality. It's loving and serving those God has entrusted to us in unseen ways. And even when it feels mundane, homemaking is sacred work that women in every season of life-young or old, married or single, with kids or without-can do for God's glory.
In Homemaking Matters, Marci Ferrell shows how the gospel changes everything, especially what we do in our homes. Blending biblical insight, lived wisdom, and practical takeaways, Marci will help you see each day not as a checklist of chores, but as a divine vocation with eternal significance.
From keeping up with family laundry to welcoming a friend over for dinner, every opportunity to serve others is an opportunity to serve God. Homemaking Matters will help you see the beauty and purpose in the work you're already doing, and embrace the unique way God has called you to the ministry of the home.
Marci Ferrell helps you discover the unique way God has called you to the ministry of the home.
"A much-needed book! Marci helps Christian homemakers see how their everyday tasks connect to their ultimate purpose in Christ. Homemaking Matters will encourage you to joyfully steward your home for the glory of God."
-Reagan Rose, founder, Redeeming Productivity
"Women have been often told that the greatest work they will ever do is outside the home. We've been fed this lie for so long that, without even meaning to, many of us have come to believe that work outside the home carries the greatest impact and deepest value. But what if we had a generation of women who actually believed our work in the home matters? Would it change how we view folding laundry, making dinner for our family, and the internal struggles we have regarding self-worth? Marci beautifully explains that understanding God's design for the home changes everything. Homemaking matters for eternity."
-GraceAnna Castleberry, pastor's wife at The King's Chapel in Raleigh, NC; writer at Unashamed Truth; and author of Vision for Motherhood.
"Not since J.R. Miller's 1882 book Home-Making has there been such a serious and biblical treatise on keeping the home as Marci Ferrell's Homemaking Matters. Written in a style that balances grace with truth, Marci elevates the 'matter' (no pun intended) of homemaking to its proper theological plane, reminding readers that no task is ever to be considered mundane that is undertaken for the glory of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 10:31)."
-Darrell B. Harrison, shepherding and teaching pastor, Redeemer Bible Church, Gilbert, AZ
"Homemaking Matters is a book brimming with truth and hope. Marci's warmth emanates from each page as she highlights the joys and challenges of serving the Lord in our homes. Her humble transparency is refreshing, and her passion to extol the virtues of biblical womanhood is soul-stirring and inspiring. This book is a treasure every Christian woman should read."
-Rachel Zwayne, founder, Joyful Mothers
"Homemaking Matters invites readers on a pilgrimage to their own front door and into a space where even preparing a meal is a sacred task. Marci Ferrell reminds her readers that homemaking is set apart for God's glory and for the good of all who eat at the homemaker's table or recline in her den, where joyful laughter often mixes with compassionate tears. Inside such a home, spiritual disciplines nestle alongside joy, gratitude, and contentment, and high theology works itself out in practical application. This sacred home is not just for visitors, however, but also for its daily residents. Why? Homemaking matters, that's why. This is a refreshing book about a sacred calling you really ought to read."
