Through a Catholic Lens: Religious Perspectives of 19 Film Directors from Around the World
I was hoping this book would inspire me to find the joy in the everyday drudgery. It didn't. A lot of esoteric Steiner philosophy which I didn't find very useful. Nothing in the way of practical suggestions. I guess it encourages the reader to take home-making seriously, and to place it as being as important as having paid employment, which is a nice thought if not one validated by the rest of society. As I was reading it I felt as if it wasn't really going in, and many times I had to turn back a page and read it again. Perhaps I'd get more from it by reading it again, but I don't feel in a hurry to try. It didn't really give me what I was looking for.
