Description
When a cyclist clips into the pedals, a huge risk is involved because he or she must learn a new way to achieve balance and momentum. Creating a culture of hospitality within your church involves the same intricate process. Not only do balance and momentum go hand-in-hand, one can't exist without the other. Growing a church requires the same kind of delicate interplay: balancing attention toward existing members and generating momentum through reaching new people. Without both, the church won't grow. Creating a culture of hospitality involves risk and relearning old habits, but facilitating both will yield fruitful results.

Advance Praise
"In this book, Jim and Fiona lead us beyond mere hospitality to loving and welcoming people as a way of life. They show us that hospitality is not the task of a team, but must be the culture throughout the organization. “Is the hospitality experienced by guests on Sunday morning the same as they would experience if they came into the facility at any other time of the week?” They remind me, as a judicatory leader, that our leaders need to feel it in my office too."
