Cuddle up with a loved one, curl up in your favorite easy chair or sink into a tub filled with luxurious Body and Bath Sun Ripened Raspberry bubbles and get ready to browse the ultimate in "how-to" comfort books.  You will learn how to create the intimate, hospitable home you've always wanted in Jane Jarrell's latest book, SIMPLE HOSPITALITY.

Jarrell, author of fourteen books, an in-demand radio, TV and conference speaker and doting wife and mother, espouses the heart felt premise that:  "Fellowship with one another can happen no matter the location, color of the walls or financial status.  Simple hospitality does not require exceptional surroundings or outstanding ability; it only requires kindness and a willing heart."

With the idea in mind that many, if not all people tend to be somewhat "hospitality challenged," the author challenges each and every one of us to create our own Christian based hospitality ministry.

Among the many suggestions include easy, practical hints for keeping a spotless home, ideas on how to create the "atmosphere of warmth and good taste" in our kitchens by turning a few simple ingredients into marvelous concoctions, sowing cutting and salsa gardens, designing inviting entrances to our homes, entertaining with panache, teaching our children how to be gracious and willing participants in our personal hospitality ministries, how to make sensational and inexpensive gifts and much, much, much more!

If Jane Farrell had a rubber stamp with the words "Hospitality challenged," she'd most likely be tempted to emboss my forehead with it … in red.  I found the book to be quite novel and was amazed at the array of solid, sensible, FUN suggestions she offered up in these pages.  My favorite "recipe" was how to whip up the ideal Tailgate Party.  The only fault I found with the book was that many recipes
tended to be somewhat regional.  The reader should refrain from shying away from this book due to the "Christian" theme attached … don't let it deter you from buying this book … there are some fantastic ideas contained in its pages!
