The Liturgy of the Land: Cultivating a Catholic Homestead by Jason M. Craig and Thomas D. Van Horn reflects on a decade of homesteading experience and the spiritual journey of placing God, family, and work at the center of life. 

Years ago, both men experienced an “agrarian conversion,” perhaps with a tad too much romanticism, toward land-based life on farms. Tempered by the unyielding realities of land and limitations, they have gained significant insights into the reasons, challenges, and possibilities of homesteading and farming. 

Van Horn operates a commercial bee operation and Craig operates a micro dairy while working remotely for a Catholic apostolate. Both, however, now have extensive experience in general homesteading, niche-marketing of farm products, and trying to order their households around an agricultural life. 

More than a guide to farming or gardening, the book explores the deeper theology of land-based living and proposes a vision of the home as a sacred, productive and holy space where the family draws closer to God and one another, away from many worldly distractions.

Paired with this compelling read is our own tumbled stone tile, featuring Pope St. John Paul II’s iconic words, beautifully scripted in rich color and elegant font:

“Never, ever give up on hope… Be Not Afraid.”

Crafted from natural stone to convey the comforting and inspiring message from the beloved Holy Father, the piece makes striking and unique decor. Display it on a tabletop, desk, or shelf, or emjoy it in the kitchen as a trivet.

Both items in our gift set speak to those longing for a life of greater purpose, peace, and connection to God’s creation. Perfect for new homesteaders, young families, curious Catholics, and anyone seeking clarity and inspiration to lead their family closer to God in today's frenetic and noisy world.
