Have you ever felt that in your efforts to be hospitable, you're bombarded by feelings of stress, inadequacy, or pride? When our hospitality starts to look that way, it may be time to refocus on true hospitality;the kind where we simply share what we have by serving in love, letting God multiply it and magnify it for his glory. Through this study of Scripture, find out more about the spiritual practice of hospitality, modeled by the One who first welcomed us to His table.
Readers will work through eight chapters that include articles for reflection, Scripture verses, and discussion questions for deeper thought. Each book also includes a Leader's Guide.
