Let the Biscuits Burn : Cultivating Real-Life Hospitality in a World Craving Connection

Founder of A Table Top Affair and author of The Living Table cookbook, Abby Kuykendall offers an encouraging resource for the hesitant host, with practical advice and biblical inspiration to navigate the beautiful challenges and profound rewards of welcoming others into your home and around your table.

Many Christians would love to welcome others into their homes, but their passion for hospitality gets stuck on their less-than-perfect decorating scheme and the dirty dishes in the sink. In Let the Biscuits Burn, Abby Kuykendall helps readers reclaim hospitality as a practice of intentional kindness that is less about performance and more about presence, less about entertaining and more about serving, less about looking good and more about seeing others.  

Let the Biscuits Burn calls and equips readers to weave the transformative practice of hospitality into the fabric of a busy life as they 

• understand the differences between cultural entertaining and Christlike hospitality;
• master the art of the invite and confidently open their homes and lives to others; 
• learn how hospitality looks different in different seasons of life;
• gain a deeper understanding of who God is and why he calls all Christians to hospitality; and  
• use the life of Jesus as a template for gathering, sharing meals, and loving well. 

Building a rich, deeply connected life has little to do with the perfect tapas board. Let the Biscuits Burn urges readers to open the door, set the table, and see what God does next.
