{"product_id":"9781462406067","title":"Come, Lord Jesus, Be Our Guest: Adventures in Hospitality","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest.\" And he came-as a homeless man, a stranger, a friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarian Korth and her partner, Mim Jacobson, have served breakfast to thousands of overnight guests in their home, but they didn't bother to offer a cup of coffee to a homeless man huddling on their doorstep one cold winter morning. Why didn't they welcome this \"Jesus\" into their home?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarian has more to learn about hospitality, even after sixty years of adventures in hospitality. She can tell stories about being hospitable (or not) from:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Growing up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Living in Chicago for twenty years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Returning to Wisconsin and turning their farmhouse into a bed and breakfast\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Providing end-of-life care for guests who live with Marian and Mim in their home\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Transforming their bed and breakfast into a spiritual retreat center\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKindness is the common thread that runs through all these adventures in hospitality. The first verse Marian memorized as a child was Ephesians 4:32, \"Be ye kind, one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.\" (She memorized it and still thinks about it in the King James Version.) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these stories, Marian reflects on what God is telling her about being hospitable. She thinks it's pretty exciting to know that God has told us, \"Be ready with a meal or a bed when it's needed. Why, some have extended hospitality to angels without ever knowing it!\" (Hebrews 13:2 The Message)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inspiring Voices","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50093635502320,"sku":"9781462406067","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462406067","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
