What makes a person or a home hospitable? Does hospitality call for a beautifully decorated home and a menu filled with gourmet foods, or can it be as simple as offering a friend a cup of tea? In Practicing Hospitalitytwo longtime professors (and practitioners!) of home economics provide both the theological base and the practical knowledge to understand and implement God's plan for hospitality. They provide a blend of theologically sound content, real-life illustrations, and practical application. They focus on developing both the Christian character and practical skills so the act of hospitality is a joy for the host and hostess and a source of encouragement for the guest. Each chapter concludes with recipes and projects that provide readers with an opportunity to personally apply the book's content. Anyone seeking to grow in their knowledge of biblical hospitality will be richly rewarded by the biblical teaching and practical suggestions in this book. No library descriptions found. |

Why I picked it up - Now that we're settled in a new house, we've been wanting to be more diligent to open our house to others in various ways. This book was in our church's bookstore and it caught my eye.
Why I kept reading - Each chapter had such helpful advice. The questions at the end of each chapter helped me focus on the different aspects of practicing hospitality and showed me areas in which I need to grow.
When I finished the book, I was surprised to realize there are many things I'm already doing to practice hospitality, both at home and at work. I also came away feeling much more capable of carrying out some aspects of practicing hospitality that are new to me. I recommend this book to those looking to gain new skills in home-making and serving others. ( )
