Description

Hospitality and inclusion are important to the Church, but they have their limits, and this book helps readers discern where those limits are. Caroline Westerhoff explores this issue in a way that will benefit church leaders and other individuals. In addition, John Westerhoff's study questions make this perfect for parish groups. This book is a reprint.

Reviews

"In a narrative liberally laced with anecdotal stories, Westerhoff establishes . . . the obvious but too frequently neglected "boundaries"-the boundedness-of our lives. . . . [This book] is a worthy partner in the ongoing conversation we Christians must continually engage on the paradox of hospitality at the heart of our faith, as we seek to lose ourselves for the sake of the gospel."
Anglican Theological Review

"A well-written book, with much to say about boundaries and spiritual deepening."
The Rev. Roy M. Oswald, Congregations
