Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito

Books shape the way we view the world, they even change how we narrate the experiences of our life. When we read a book with a happy and courageous heroine, we began to narrate or describe our lives through the lens of being happy and courageous women.  In 2025, we loved the Emma M. Lion books for the gentleness and joy and whimsy they brought into our lives.  We loved Ronald Rolheiser for the lessons on community, and Isola for the lessons in forgiveness and courage.  Now, in 2026 we're excited for a new list of books we're reading through and learning from, and new heroines who can shape our character.  This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press!
