let's all make room


Thanks for recommending this one, Darby. I got it through interlibrary loan (through ICPL) from the Pella library. 

Christine Pohl examines the early church origins of hospitality, tracks its course through history, and talks about where we are today. I agree that a large part of this tradition of reaching out to strangers has been lost, and hospitality is now equivalent to "entertaining." I'm hoping this book will encourage me to live in a way that is hospitable, not just try to "entertain" those I know who can repay me.
