Best book on hospitality I have ever read

Too many people look at hospitality as something someone else needs to do. This author helps us to see how easy it is to develop this gift. I've given copies of this book to others and worn out two copies of my own.

Great gift! Super for the budding homemaker!

I love this book! With more than 10 years of "homemaking" and hopspitality behind me, I can still find encouragement in this book to open my home more and I have read it at least 4 times. It is a wonderful gift for a new bride or a new mom - just to empower them to open their home to others, and not feel like they have to meet anyone's expectations or standards. It lets you know that people can feel blessed by your willingness to serve no matter where you are at in life. I recommend it highly for seasoned homemakers, also. You will not be disappointed!

An Affirmation for Homemaking

Two things work against homemaking and hospitality. One, full time homemakers are not viewed as contributors to society. Two, many feel they have to have Martha Stewart's homemaking skills in order to be hospitable. Both are false and this book helps the reader see past the trappings that prevent many of us from inviting people into our home. This book gives great ideas on how to open your home to guests regardless of decor or food budget. It presents a mindset of ministry in opening the home to guests. The only thing I didn't like about this book is that the authors sometimes come across as superwomen who open their home out of a sense of obligation. One gets the impression that their doors are the revolving kind with little santuary for family and privacy.Hospitality, like homemaking, is a lost art. This book serves as a motivator to bring it back.
