I believe hospitality is not a gift but something everyone should do. It does not matter where you live, you can share what you have. There are many ways to reach out to others without having a fancy home or lots of money.​ I am so excited about this book. The layout is lovely, in color, with many photos. There is a section with favorite family recipes and home decor ideas. Also included, is a section on our responsibility to help those in need and how to be generous with what we are given. I think that this book will make a great gift for any woman wishing to share with others.   Connect with Nicki: Email: [email protected] Website: liveboldlyministries.com
