Praise for The Sublime Soiree

Loved this book and highly recommend it. Meaningful and thought-provoking insight into God’s idea of hospitality and how it relates to our everyday lives as we seek and desire to share the good news of the gospel, by inviting others into fellowship and connection. From casual to formal hosting, Sue and Linda share practical and purposeful ideas for gathering and engaging with others. A breath of fresh air in a society that is actively driving us apart.
