A Meal with Jesus - by Tim Chester (Paperback)

About the Book

Meals are an important part of hospitality--fostering grace in our communities. Chester draws from six narratives in the Gospel of Luke to urge sacrificial giving and loving around the table.

Book Synopsis

The meals of Jesus represent something bigger. They represent a new world, a new kingdom, a new outlook.

Tim Chester brings to light God's purposes in the seemingly ordinary act of sharing a meal--how this everyday experience is really an opportunity for grace, community, and mission. Chester challenges contemporary understandings of hospitality as he urges us to evaluate why and who we invite to our table. Learn how you can foster grace and bless others through the rich fare being served in A Meal with Jesus.
