Summary:
In a culture of rush, hygge appeals to their desire for rest--for slow living, shared moments, and fostered friendships. In Holy Hygge, author Jamie Erickson unites the popular Danish practice with the deep, theological truths of the gospel. She covers the seven tenets of hygge: hospitality, relationships, well-being, atmosphere, comfort, contentment, and rest. In addition, Erickson shows how the external veneer of a lifestyle can create a life-giving home only when placed under the hope of the gospel. Holy Hygge provides practical ideas for using hygge to gather people and introduce them to faith in Christ. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions, Scripture references, and a prayer.
