Study the Heart of Our Hospitable God Opening Our Hearts and Homes (Bible Study)

This women's Bible study is an exceptional topic for your small group, home fellowship, or church group. It can also be used as a personal Bible study for any woman interested in exploring the God-given gift of hospitality. Or use it in mixed groups to encourage ministering couples.

“When I was a young mother traveling and singing on the weekends and still trying to be a 'perfect' homemaker, I found Open Heart, Open Home. It hit me at the core of my being, convicting me of my failure to let Jesus truly be the Lord of out house and freeing me to focus on people, not on an orderly (or disorderly) home. It helped me to see our home as a real instrument of ministry, not as a showplace for furniture.”
— Gloria Gaither, Author, Speaker, Vocal Artist

“Our women's Bible study group studied your book for eight weeks. We thought it was so good that our husbands needed to study it with us. So we did it again, but this time with the men. We had a wonderful time, and all of us have found a real ministry opening to us using these scriptural concepts in our own homes.”
— Two women waiting in a book-signing line

“I had only read one page when I felt a sense of excitement, and I knew this was a book I could be enthusiastic about . . . I have just called my neighbors, some of whom have never crossed our threshold, and asked them over for lunch so that together we may 'celebrate the coming of spring,' something I've meant to do for months (having my neighbors in, that is), but kept putting off.”
— Colleen Townsend Evans, Author and Pastor's Wife

“The remarkable thing about the relational theology in Open Heart, Open Home is that the scriptural principles of hospitality work as well around the board table of a national organization as they do in the home of a Christian family. Welcome, openness, and serving one another for the good of the whole are means of experiencing Christ. Relationships come first. When we care, trust, and honor one another's ideas and gifts, the business of the organization is handled with much more grace and efficiency. A great application of the concepts of spiritual hospitality! The InterVarsity Board of Trustees has greatly profited from the participation of Karen Mains as a director, then as chair. I highly recommend this book; a must for ministering men and women.”
