Early Christians didn't just talk about hospitality; they practiced it, because hospitality isn't just a supplemental aspect of faith; it's an integral part of it. It's not a luxury; it's a necessity. It's not just entertaining; it's ministering. It doesn't just satisfy physical and social needs; it satisfies spiritual needs. It's not just the frosting on the cake; it's a crucial ingredient of the cake itself. In this book, Latayne Scott explains that it is our love for Christ that motivates us to be hospitable and that through hospitality we learn to love more deeply. She also leads us to realize, through a careful study of Scripture, that our Christian life is incomplete if we are not practicing hospitality.
