Description
Open House: Let Your Light So Shine Before Men…
By: Dorothy Harris
Dorothy Harris writes from 40 years as a wife, mother of five children, and a missionary in Mexico. But this book is not about missionary work, it’s about the home-the center of what went on in those years.
“This is basically a story about our home,” says the author, “but it is impossible to separate it form the story of the Lord’s work in this part of Mexico. So come to our home through the pages of this book. The welcome mat is always out for you.”
In Open House, you feel the author’s heart throb as she details her move to Mexico as a young bride. You share her experience learning the language and adjusting to a new culture. “But is doesn’t stop there” says Daniel H. Smith, President of Emmaus Bible College. “Dorothy relays all the joys and trials of raising five children in the midst of a busy missionary schedule. You’ll find wonderful insights on balancing God’s work and family responsibilities.”
You’ll be challenged to make your family a priority. She addressed questions on education social contacts, careers, dating and marriage. “I thank the Lord for many hours of conversation around our table, with our children and our guests, she says. “The Lord was there enjoying the happy moments with us.”
The Harris house, truly an “open house”, is always available for group meetings, Bible studies, and visitors of all kinds. This look at a family “given to hospitality” challenges and teaches all of us to reach to our community a little more. Dorothy not only opens her home to us, but also her heart.
Dorothy Harris and her husband, Ron, have served as missionaries in Mexico since 1954. Dorothy taught English to native students n kindergarten through grade 6, business school and adult conversation classes. Born in Oak, Park, IL she attended Emmaus Bible College and Wheaton College.
