Great hospitality isn't about gourmet food or gorgeous décor (what a relief!)  
  
When it comes to hospitality it doesn't matter what size your house is, how it's decorated, whether or not it's spotless, or what you cook or don't cook. The secret to making guests feel comfortable is more about the condition of your heart than the condition of your home.   
  
A Life That Says Welcome helps you make others feel refreshed, rather than impressed, in your presence. It's packed with inspiring tips on how to  
  
decorate well on a budget   
make the most of your space (no matter how small)  
be prepared for unexpected company  
create delicious, simple dishes your guests will enjoy  
  
You'll be encouraged to not only open your home but to open your life as an avenue for God's love everywhere you go.
