Description
Do you long for deep, Christ-centered community and want to create a space where others feel welcomed, seen, and understood, but you’re overwhelmed at the thought of inviting people into your home because it doesn’t look “perfect”? Do you find yourself making excuses and saying things like “I can’t cook,” “My house is too small,” or “I don’t have the time or energy to host” when opportunities to practice hospitality show up? If so, you’re not alone in feeling that way, but practicing hospitality might be easier and more transformative than you think.
In Let the Biscuits Burn Abby Kuykendall offers practical advice and biblical inspiration that will help you reclaim hospitality as a ritual that is less about performance and perfection and more about care and connection. She also shares personal stories of imperfect but God-honoring hospitality, along with the tips, tricks, and lists she’s gathered over the years to make every piece of hosting less stressful. She’ll share the profound rewards of welcoming others around your table, helping you
- understand the differences between cultural entertaining and Christ-like hospitality,
- master the art of the invite and confidently open your home and life to others,
- let go of the excuses that keep you from true connection and community, and
- gain a clearer idea of who God is and why he calls Christians to the spiritual practice of hospitality.
Building a rich, deeply connected life has little to do with the perfect charcuterie board. Let the Biscuits Burn shows you how to open the door, set the table, and let God transform your heart.

In a post-pandemic world with instagram serving a constant stream of picture perfect parties, hosting can seem like an insurmountable task. And this book came at the perfect time. Even though I love hosting, but have been caught up in all the reasons I shouldn’t - my house isn’t clean enough, my tables setting aren’t cute enough, what if the food doesn’t turn out just right. Abby Kuykendall encourage us to reframe our excuses and even embrace the chaos. Why worry about perfection when you can b present? The difference between entertaining and hospitality really struck a chord with me and immediately made hosting seem more doable.
Overall, this book left me feeling so cozy and hopeful and I’m excited to use what I learned
