Household Sonnets Review
This is a lovely idea capably done. Admittedly, some of the household items are no longer common, so here is a list of those included:
- Table
- Chair
- Bed
- Hearth
- Tongs
- Pot for Extinguishing Coals
- Closet
- Chest
- Stove
- Pot
- Serving Platter
- Lighter
- Candlestick
- Candlewick Trimmer
- Mirror
- Clothing Brush
- Coat Hook
- Clock
- Painting
- Bookcase
- Scrub Brush
- Duster
- Spinning Wheel
- Washtub
- Bucket
- Lamp
- Bellows
- Sulfur Bin
- Honey Pot
- Mortar
- Couch
- Cradle
- Clothes Basket
- China (dishes)

- Grill
- Ash Shovel
- Ash Broom
- Broom
- Scouring Pad
- Napkin

As you can see, some of these household items provoke thought more than serve as our own daily reminders. Still, if you’re interested in Christ-centered poetry; seeing Christ in daily, humble life; emblem books/ wood carving illustrations; historical settings; or theology tied to reminders all around us, this book is for you.
This is a nice collection, especially when you’re open to something just a little different but within a historical continuity of the home and church.
Nicely done, Rev. Richard. Be sure to also check out his Passion Book for Holy Week!
