Good book, but kindle edition is bad.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I plan on using some of these ideas within my own family. My only complaint is that the kindle edition had several mistakes. Half a sentence would be missing, only to appear further down the page. But beyond that, I highly recommend it.

Really enjoying the concepts presented here. Terrific vision for what following God could look like as a family. Our family is starting to incorporate this philosophy into our rhythms. We'll see what happens!

This is a wonderful book, but it leaves a few things to be desired. That said, I've given it to several friends. I'm hoping that we can use it to spark conversations about how to have a more missional friend group that is welcoming, hospitable, and focused on helping others rather than just supporting each other.
The writers are passionate and obviously have much to teach, but they seem to contradict themselves when it comes to boundaries. I firmly believe that boundaries are necessary for every family and every friend group, no matter whether or not they are officially "in missions." I think the authors would actually agree, but they confuse the wording and at first seem to indicate that a "missional home" should be a chaotic free-for-all. Taken as a whole, though, the book does give concrete advice on how to turn your family (or faith family) into a missional community that seeks to love and show hospitality like Jesus. This book is a must-read for families on the mission field, pastors, Christian friend groups and housemates, and everyone in between.
