For decades, I have offered my talents, as well as my joys and sorrows, to the building of God’s Kingdom.

Many of my creative works have been birthed out of personal experience. My first best-selling book Open Heart, Open Home, is considered a classic and deals with the theology of Christian hospitality. It has sold over 600,000 copies and captured experiences out of 12 years serving in an inner city pastorate in a church founded by my husband, David R. Mains. The book challenges believers to use hospitality as a means of bringing redemption to a broken society.
