The meals of Jesus represent something bigger. They represent a new world; a new kingdom; a new outlook. In this book, 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.--Reformers Bookshop.
