Book Description

June 1, 1999
This is not a book about entertaining. It is a book about the kind of hospitality that is a gift from God and how we can practice it in every aspect of our lives -- in church, at home, while driving to the grocery store. As she explores models of hospitality in the Bible and how Jesus modeled the development of this gift for us, Halverson shows specific ways we can achieve a hospitable lifestyle wherever we are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches the simplest path towards hospitality...., May 3, 2000
This review is from: The Gift of Hospitality: In Church, in the Home, in All of Life (Paperback)
This book reaches out to the person deep inside me and sharestips on hospitality. Reading this book was easy for me, as I found Icould really relate first hand to her subjects. Using first handexperiences and examples, the author illustrates how to become more hospitable. Hospitality in our churches, in our home life, in our marriage, and yes even at work has become a lost art. When faced with a truly giving experience, we are often uncomfortable.

Deila Halverson, in her easy to read guidebook, takes us through the front door of churches she has visited and homes she has been in. Once in the door, she shows us ways to make things more welcoming, more inclusive to all.

This is a highly recommended source to anyone who is looking into how to make their church more user friendly, more warm and welcoming or how to improve their time spent with friends and family.

The author covers hospitality from a biblical perspective as it relates to:

Giving and Receiving Welcoming Speaking and listening Celebrating events and people serving others Healing and comforting others and hospitality overall as a mission.
