Synopsis

How to offer Christian hospitality without becoming exhausted and overburdened.Generous hospitality is a significant way in which God works through our lives to bring life to others, yet many of us feel ill-equipped and overwhelmed at the prospect, especially if we don’t have big houses and we are not wonderful cooks! Carolyn Lacey encourages us to focus on the goal of hospitality, which is to reflect God’s welcoming heart, and shows us how we can all do that, regardless of our bank balance or living situation. She explores seven ways in which we can reflect God’s character in the way we welcome others into our homes and into our lives, and so point people ultimately to Christ. This practical and realistic book explores how to make generous hospitality part of everyday life without becoming exhausted and overburdened.

Goodreads review by Katie on August 01, 2022

An easy read, but also very challenging, especially the first couple of chapters. I think I need to go back through it again more slowly to reflect and apply!......more

Read this in one sitting! Such a straightforward & simple outlook on hospitality — we are not called to be extravagant, but consistent & intentional. Biggest takeaways: - use our home, money, and abilities to bless, not impress. - everyone is eternal, either in glory or suffering, and this view shoul......more
