Jen Schmidt - Just Open the Door: How One Invitation Can Change a Generation

In her Christian hospitality book Just Open the Door, How One Invitation Can Change a Generation, author Jen Schmidt has set out to reframe how we think about hospitality and to equip us to walk a road of welcome in our daily lives. Jen knows that every time we choose open-door living—whether in our homes or by taking hospitality on the road just like Jesus—those we invite in get to experience the lived-out gospel, our kids grow up in a life-lab of generosity, and we trade insecurity for connection.
