The Power of Hospitality: An Open heart, Open Hand and Open Home will Change YOur World Through God's Divine Design

God's plan for everyone who professes the name of Christ, both men and women, includes hospitality. No one is exempt, from pastor to people. An open heart, open hand and open home is God's divine design to open the hearts of people everywhere it is practiced.
Hospitality connects the heart of God and the heart of true ministry for every believer, yet something dramatic has happened in our hearts, closing the doors of our homes, causing Christianity Today to ask, "Whatever Happened to Hospitality?" What about your life? Do you have an open heart, open hand and open home to others... to strangers?
The Apostle Paul reminds we must all be "given to hospitality." Pastors and leaders must be "lovers of hospitality." And the Apostle Peter declared, "The end of all things is at hand... use hospitality ... without grudging." Here is hidden power reserved by God for those who dare to practice it. It is PERSONAL, it is PRACTICAL, and it is PROPHETIC! The Power of Hospitality will change your life, your family, your congregation... yes even your city and your world if your will let it.

From the womb of the South comes The POWER of Hospitality. Chuck and Kathie Crismier, together with their expanding family of three married children and seven grandchildren, reside in Richmond, Virginia.

Over the past twenty-five years, hospitality became a life message for the Crismiers. God, through thirty-eight years of marriage, led them from a my-home-is-my-castle midset to a my-home-is-a-Christian-embassy heartset. Hospitality became a way of life now embraced also by their adult children. Their teaching on hospitality has revolutionized the lives and congregations of people from coast to coast.

Chuck, in his own burning-bush experience, felt a profound call to leave his lucrative law practice in 1992, forming Save America Ministries to "Rebuild the Foundations of Faith and Freedom." Now, in full-time ministry, he hosts a national daily radio broadcast, VIEWPOINT "Confronting the deepest issues of America's heart and home." Kathie, after two years as a teacher, has devoted her life to being a busy wife, mother and "nana," speaking on matters of the heart and home.

The Crismiers believe hospitality is at the heart of the Gospel and must be at the heart of our homes. As you begin to live out the pages of this book, may The POWER of Hospitality change your life as it has theirs.
