Short introduction to Christian Hospitality & Food in Scripture...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This slim volume offers a good, short introduction to Christian hospitality and food. The chapters include: (1) Biblical Foods and Customs. (2) Stewardship: Food as God's Good Gift. (3) Hospitality: Expression of Grace. (4) Bonding: Strangers No Longer. (5) Compassion: The Great Inasmuch. (6) Celebration: The Joyful Feast. (7) Hope and Restoration: No More Tears. Plus a short Bibliography and Index of Scripture References. Each chapter also include 3 - 4 activities which can be talked about / done in one's family or small group. While there are other books on the market which do explore this topic more in depth and at length, I think this book has a lot to offer if you want to explore this topic in a short amount of time... esp. in a small group.
