Come to My House and Stay

It was Roland's first stable shelter after years sleeping in stairwells, parking garages, and other places nobody would likely notice. The next day, when I was surprised to see somebody sleeping on the couch we had found for him, I asked him if everything was okay. "Folks need a place to stay," he told me. Not only was Roland right, he wasn't the first people to tell me that. This book is a collection of twelve stories from Christian history about saints and "should be saints" for whom hospitality and welcome were central to their own little way of following Jesus. Read these stories whether for your own devotional reading, for study, or because you love good stories and consider again what it means to open ourselves to others in the practice of hospitality.
