I was a Stranger: A Guide to Biblical Hospitality (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Have you ever thought about the innkeeper who sent Mary and Joseph to the stable because there was no room in the inn? When he stood before God, do you think he wished he'd slept in the hay and given Mary his own bed? Imagine knowing for all eternity that you sent Jesus out to sleep with the cows and sheep!

In I was a Stranger, Marilyn T. Parker looks at Matthew 25 where Jesus, in His own words, warns that whatever we do to one of the "least" of His brothers or sisters, we do to Him.

She draws on her forty years as the wife of a pastor-who regularly brought unannounced strangers home for a meal and a place to sleep, hosted ministers and missionaries, and kept the door open to his congregation-for both sobering and side-splitting stories about her family's experiences.

Marilyn also addresses the heart of the Christian, the church, and the country towards immigrants and Muslims, people with different lifestyles and world views-the strangers among us, for whom Jesus so freely gave His life.

I was a Stranger is full of practical advice on Christian hospitality, and how to entertain people in your home. AND it includes Cooking for Company, a cookbook full of stranger-tested recipes Marilyn used to feed all of those wonderful people. Be sure to check out the best-in-the-world-brownie recipe (it really is the best!), cowboy cookies, and authentic chicken enchiladas!

Enjoy!

Autorenporträt

Marilyn has worn many hats: pastor's wife, mother of four God-loving children, school teacher, author and blogger--just to name a few. Four years after becoming a widow, she married Peter Parker. Yes, she's Mrs. Spiderman! How cool is that! When she and her husband are not out RVing, they reside in Yuma, Arizona, with their dog Mimi. She (Marilyn, not Mimi) is presently the older, more wrinkled half of a mother/daughter blogging duo with her daughter, Rebecca Feasel. Their website, Persevering Women, is full of inspirational stories, tools to train the tongue and renew the mind, Bible studies, and who knows what else? Come visit! They'll make you welcome!
