The Hospitality of Need: How Depending on One Another Helps Us Heal and Grow Together (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780802436085)

Heal, mature, and grow together.

Too often, our needs are perceived--by ourselves and others--as either burdens to shamefully hide, or idols before which everything else must bow. The Hospitality of Need provides a biblical framework for readers to see their needs as opportunities for deeper, truer community and relationships.

Through engaging real-life stories, Kevan Chandler and Tommy Shelton share what can happen when we invite others into our lives--hardships and all. Ultimately, this is a book about friendship . . . the kind that God has called us to live in . . . friendship that goes deep and flourishes, not in spite of our needs but actually through them.

This book is for both caregivers and care receivers. It's for the wider Christian community that wants to grow in awareness of the needs around them. With the right heart and approach, we can--and must--follow Jesus' beautiful call to care for one another. The Hospitality of Need shows us how. Join Kevan and Tommy's invitation into a journey that will foster healing, growth, and deeper Christian fellowship.
