The New Vesta Home

The New Vesta Home: How a Renewed Tradition Can Keep Your Marriage & Family TogetherIf reading Debra May Macleod's historical fiction novels on the Vestal Virgins of ancient Rome inspired you to light a candle and think of the eternal flame (why not? they say everything old is new again), this nonfiction offering may interest you. It shares the author's personal experience with this ancient religion and offers ways - some lighthearted, others more meaningful - for those who are so inclined to incorporate it into their own life, relationship and home. What if your home was more sacred than any church or temple? The faith and flame of Vesta burned in antiquity for centuries, providing a spiritual focus for the home and protecting its foundations. Today, this tradition has been renewed and adapted, and is being embraced by a new generation of "spiritual but not religious" women, men, and families. From simple mealtime rituals to skills-based marriage and family-strengthening advice, The New Vesta Home is part spiritual treatise and part practical relationship manual. Use it to bring daily sparks of love, devotion, happiness and meaning to your marriage and home life.
