About this audiobook
Don Everts invites us to contemplate what the Bible says about households and consider what a new research project has revealed by pulling back the curtains on everyday households of faith. Original research from the Barna Group and Lutheran Hour Ministries shows that some of the healthiest, most vibrant homes extend beyond the nuclear family and include people that may not be biologically related but feel like family. These households have vital practices of spirituality, hospitality, and community that make them delightful places for living and thriving.
In the end you might just be surprised by how God wants to work in and through your household. And you'll have practical steps for nurturing a vibrant household of faith, no matter what stage of life you are in.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5a book to push/motivate the reader into opening his home doors to others. Be it from small steps like inviting family members, to stepping into the unknown (example: students, church people). It presents the benefits to this idea, and gives some ideas of what to do to overcome shyness or the habit of being insular, like visiting friends.
I recommend it if you have the curiosity in your mind.
