I look forward to reading this book. You are a voice for our times, Kristen, much needed. I read your post a few weeks ago about “at home” time and hospitality. Appreciate you sharing your own journey. I have community in my church, such a blessing. But I’m reflecting how I can create more in my home and surrounding neighborhood.

Aunt Sharon, you are the sweetest! Thank you for being such a special inspiration. So much of this is "out of my wheelhouse," but your example of hospitality is such a help. :)

Kristin, you are too generous! I wish I could keep up on all you offer here, but I love to read when I can. At this point in life I have all I can do at times to keep up with my schedule, but I’ll be looking whenever possible! Keep up the good work. To God be the glory!❤️

I'm still busy working my way through the last book but I'm so intrigued by this one! Can't wait!

Sarah's book is so good to chew on and savor, isn't it?! This will be a sweet springtime book...a bit like a coffee table book in many ways, which meets me right where I need it.

I think I'll be able to make both of these!

I followed through her blog and podcasts for a while but then fell away and I do like her writing so I will look for this book as this is a topic that is dear to my heart. Moving 28 times and trying to make each rental our home has been a life's work for me so I will be interested to read this and then discuss with you all.

Wow, 28 times - home-making is SO hard when trying to put down roots in many places, but you have such a hospitable spirit, I'm sure it just pours over!

I ordered the book. It’s my 54th birthday tomorrow and Geoff is still overseas so I told him it was his gift. I should have it this week some time to start reading. A very good gift.

Happy belated birthday, Cate!!! I hope you had a wonderful day, though I'm sorry Geoff was overseas. What a marvelous birthday gift to find a new book, though. :)
