Hospitality has been practiced by the people of God dating back through the entire Old Testament (Consider Abraham and Lot). Today, many of those practices are still in place throughout much of the Middle East. God, however, has called the whole church to participate in Kingdom hospitality. In fact, it is an integral part of the culture of the Kingdom of God. Kingdom hospitality encompasses much more than simply hosting people out of the kindness of our hearts. This book is a journey into the heart, attitude, and mindset of the hospitality of God and the beginning of a life of Kingdom hospitality. Through an exploration of Scripture, culture, and calling, you'll discover the beauty of Kingdom hospitality and its importance in the expression of our Christian faith.

Moreover, David said in Psalm 27:13, "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living".
