When it comes to hosting, are you more of a Martha or a Mary?

We can’t actually hear your response. But we can relate to the feelings of stress and comparison that can accompany having people over. 

This devotional-cookbook reimagines hosting through a 1st Century-lens, so you can serve others with Christ-like love (and a full belly).

Alongside stunning photography and practical tips, you’ll find:

• Four Sections: The Simple Life, Gatherings, Open Homes and Useful Gardens, and A Chosen Gathering
• Recipes inspired by 1st Century Jewish homes as depicted in The Chosen
• Scripture verses and reflections that reveal Jesus as the bread of life 
• Hospitality wisdom that bridges ancient traditions with modern gatherings
• Prayers and practices to help you open your home and heart to others
