The Family Altar

The answers to all the world’s problems are found at the heart of a healthy home.

The Family Altar is a prophetic and deeply personal call to rebuild what has been lost at the heart of the modern home — the altar of worship, discipleship, and covenant. In a world marked by hurry and fragmentation, Karolina Grant invites readers to return to the sacred centre where faith is formed, lived, and passed on across generations.

Drawing from Scripture, story, and lived experience, Grant reimagines the home as more than a dwelling place — it is a sanctuary. A living altar where God’s presence is honoured through the ordinary, holy rhythms of marriage, parenting, hospitality, celebration, and rest. Here, faith is not merely taught but embodied.

Written with a pastor’s heart and a poet’s eye, and shaped by Grant’s own journey through loss, restoration, and raising seven children, The Family Altar offers not formulas or perfection, but an invitation — to slow down, to remember, and to rebuild.

For parents and pastors, leaders and dreamers, this is a vision for renewal that begins around dinner tables and bedtime prayers — and spills into communities and cities.

This is a book that, if embraced and lived, has the power to reshape culture. Because while renewal always begins in the home, it was never meant to end there. Before transformation can take hold in the world, the flame must be re-ignited on the altar of the home.

    I have watched Pastor Karolina’s journey for more than twenty years - in her role as leader and pastor, as a mother, and as a wife. I have seen her navigate the tension between her personal life and her public life. I have witnessed her endure the most tragic circumstances and watched her rebuild a beautiful future in both her family and her ministry. What she offers in this book does not come merely from knowledge but from life experience — both victories and challenges. Her love for family and God, and her understanding of how these are the foundation of a better future, will inspire you and prepare you to see the best in your life, your family, and the world around you.

    I had the joy of meeting Karolina at a women’s conference in Australia. The God-connection was immediate as we both leaned in and taught from our individual journeys - journeys that, while different, shared a common thread: the desire and choice to overcome the challenges that life inevitably presents. I believe her book, The Family Altar, carries immense wisdom from a truly unique landscape and testimony. The God I know and love places great value upon family, and I am confident that this beautiful labour of love, from her life and her altar to yours, will yield immense blessing and fruit.

    I have known Karolina for over twenty years, and she has always been a ‘deep well’. I observed her journey through the furnace of affliction and emerge even deeper, in faith, character, and anointing. Karolina is known as an exceptional church leader and communicator, but in this book, we encounter something more: her prophetic voice. Many helpful books have been written for Christian parents, but this one is different. The Family Altar is a prophetic revelation of God’s plan and purpose for families, and a call to come up higher. Yes, this book is practical and helpful, but it is more. Weighty, but not heavy, profound and accessible, The Family Altar will inspire and encourage you. I pray you catch this revelation and are changed.

    ‘The Family Altar’ is a timely and prophetic book. Karolina has brought a beautiful and challenging reminder that with prayerfulness, conviction, and intentionality, we can ensure our families return to the divine plan that God intended for them. This isn’t just a book filled with theories, but one that has been lovingly outworked in her own family, even through the fire of extraordinary challenges. I’ve known Karolina for many years, and she doesn’t just preach — she practices! Her life has always been about sowing seeds into the next generation, and this book continues to do that through the lens of family. It carries the power to bring about an awakening in our homes that will lead to impact across our world.
