I have had so much fun reading the book Practicing Hospitality as part of a book study with Passionate Homemaking.
This book has taught me so much! My mother worked a lot growing up and didn’t really get to teach me all the “homemaker” skills that I would love to have. So, I have been looking to books to learn more about my role as a wife, keeper of the home, and future mother. This book has taught me so much about hospitality and the ministry that a woman can have from her home.
This book is going to be one that I refer people to for a long time! I am a social butterfly by nature, but I have never fully considered the impact that hospitality could have on eternity!
Since Michael and I have been married we have been having people over for dinners, game nights, and other special events. But, we never fully took advantage of the time to further God’s kingdom!
After reading this book I have such a different perspective on hospitality. The book is full of practical tips to help you focus more on God than on you, your home, your food, etc… Hospitality is all about showing God’s love in a practical way. This book helped me to see this in such a powerful way!
I will never look at a dinner with guests or game night the same way again! I am always going to try to lay our events at the feet of Jesus, shower them with prayer, and point to Him before, during, and after!
This book will challenge you to use your home as a center for evangelism at every opportunity you can! Do not miss your change to read this book!!!
Ohhhh, I really need this book. I gotta hurry over. Today is April 7th!!! Yikes!
I would love to read this book. I saw that Passionate Homemaking was hosting this book study, but at the time thought I would be too busy with work. Now that I am out of work due to a recent back surgery I would love to have a copy of the book to read on my own. :) Lana
Wow, that sounds like an awesome book. I love to read and my hospitality could use some brushing up, either way. A fresh perspective may help!
One of my all time fav books!! We have similiar tastes!
