“Nicki’s book is a joy to read; it is warm and inviting, just like her home. She reminds us of the importance of ministry, of using all

that God has given us to minister His love to others. You will receive a gentle nudge to do what God’s word commands us in Romans

12:13, ‘practice hospitality.’ You will come away ready to

host your next, or first, guests. For some of us, it isn’t as easy as she makes it

seem, but she reminds us

It’s Not about the Pie

. It’s about the heart.”

Patrick and Tonya Ireland, Military Chaplain, US Army; former missionary and military wife

“Nicki has a track record of demonstrating hospitality. Her words are valuable to us, not only because they are needed but because she

has put them into practice. Our own personal memories of enjoying her hospitality are precious and I know these wonderful words will

inspire others to practice hospitality in new and efective ways. Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences with us all, Nicki.”

Pastor Geof Williams

“Nicki skillfully and creatively encourages each one of us to joyfully embrace the unique space that God has given us

and to never

underestimate the power of His love shown through the way we share our homes and our lives with others.”

Marissa Dickey, Missionary to Colombia, South America

“In this day and age when, with the flick of a finger, Pinterest provides thousands upon thousands of ideas and images, it is easy

to become overwhelmed when gathering inspiration to decorate, put on parties or pull together diferent ways to help others.

The desire to be perfect causes me to sometimes freeze and not do anything at all in helping people to feel warm and welcomed

because I am measuring myself against what I deem perfection. Nicki’s book, It’s Not About the Pie, provides warm, sound guidance

that hospitality is a mindset and ‘that God can use imperfect people to perfectly bless other imperfect people with everyone having

a good time in the process.’ I relish reading those words as they remind me to relax, be my imperfect self. and show warmth and

compassion to everyone God puts in my path.”

Sarah Zimik, Chief Development Officer at Boise Rescue Mission Ministries; Co-Owner of Empty Hand Combat;

and Co-Founder of International Missionary Network

“Too many of us have grown up thinking that only some people have the gift of hospitality. Nicki is giving that gift to all of us who

long to create a home where people feel welcome, loved and valued. She makes is easy to see the heart of hospitality is within reach.

Her book is a joyful discovery of how-to’s and heart.”
