Plenty of concerns or quibbles are likely. I have not read the book, but from Chapter 1:

This has led to a divorce between the way we view our homes and the way we view our mission as Christians. We may rightly understand that we are to make disciples as a part of the Great Commission, which Jesus gave us in Matthew 28,’ but that all feels very separate from what we do at our houses. We think of mission as something that happens outside the four walls of our homes—that, if anything, our homes are even a retreat from any Christian mission that we may be involved in (other than training our children to love Jesus, of course).

In doing so, however, we waste a powerful and God-ordained means of changing the world.​

The appeal to the Great Commission as being a responsibility laid upon all believers, versus the ordained servants, will be a sticking point within Reformed circles. There is also the notion above that everything and every person is a mission or missionary, respectively.

Why not the focus upon the do unto others, etc., as the root for hospitality?
