What does God REALLY want? Where does hospitality fit into the big picture? Here's a complete, balanced, and Biblically-sound look at the practice of hospitality. ***** PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: "[Tom and Wilma] ask readers to redefine hospitality by considering it from a biblical sense in this impassioned book." *****To help perform His divine will, God has frequently relied on a celebrated company of Heavenly messengers called angels. But in a manner of speaking, we're all called to be God's "Heavenly messengers" here on earth: we all have a story to tell, an experience to relate, a testimony to share; and, like His celestial band of servants, the Creator of the Universe wants each of us to become a Godly emissary of His supernatural love: following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, through a lifestyle of giving, serving, encouraging, and ... sharing the Words of Life! But something's been holding us back from fully answering the call! We've lost an important truth that expresses the heart and nature of God, and we've abandoned a practice that's vital to peace and unity within our homes and communities, as well as the growth of our churches. It's one of the most misunderstood and neglected Biblical concepts today, and its inexcusable neglect is keeping us from becoming all God intended! God wants us to develop the "heart of an angel"--but how do we accomplish this? Better still, what is the heart of an angel? Join us as we examine the secrets of the heart: learn how to change the world while building meaningful relationships; strengthen your family while becoming more like God; unite your community while impacting eternity; and fulfill the Lord's greatest commandment while "flying" with the angels! Do you have what it takes to join His band of "angels"? God wants YOU!

Review:
[Tom and Wilma English], husband and wife, ask readers to redefine hospitality by considering it from a biblical sense in this impassioned book. In modern parlance, hospitality implies entertaining perfectly and putting on a show.... But, for them, this is misguided; they see expressing love in a practical way and developing relationships as the true nature of hospitality. By creating an environment in which God can work and reaching out when others are in need (instead of waiting for the perfect set of circumstances), they believe that one can rediscover the heart of hospitality. There are many stories from the Bible (as well as some from Martha Stewart and Wilma's mother), and the [book] is filled with biblical imperatives ("Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or place to stay") and stories of how hospitality helped people find grace (Abraham greeting the three angels at his home is used as an origin tale). Bringing together all the Bible has to say about being hospitable, the Englishes' forceful book will appeal to Christians interested in deeply scriptural reading. (Publishers Weekly)
