Open Hearts Open Home: The Hospitable Way to Make Others Feel Welcome and Wanted by Karen Burton Mains
This has been such a practical book in shaping my thinking about how to create a home that is inviting, loving, and provides grace and comfort. It has great application questions and thoughtful insight and lots of scripture. I would suggest this book to anyone looking to be more hospitable.
