Lovely and Thoughtful Book on Placemaking


Placemaker by Christie Purifoy

God invites us to live as placemakers, Christie Purifoy contends.  In this autobiographical book, she explores what that involves and questions if we make places or if they make us.

From her life in different places, she derives meaning in the daily settings in which we find ourselves and the trees, plants and gardens that we cultivate there.

Although this is outside the scope of my usual reading diet, I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful book.  Christie’s prose is lyrical and yet honest.  She details the beauty in God’s created order and appreciates the history behind both her places and plants.

If you have a love of people, places, and living things, you will enjoy this lovely book.  I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and this is my honest review.
