The Hospitality of Need
In The Hospitality of Need, Kevan Chandler and Tommy Shelton show how depending on one another helps us heal and grow together.
This is a beautiful and inspiring book that will make you marvel at our Maker. I was struck by the fact that Jesus had needs—especially as a child—just as we do. Even more, he had needs and yet did not sin.
The Compassion of Christ
A co-authored work between Chandler and Shelton, the book blends their voices seamlessly. Shelton shows how hospitality and need are woven throughout the Bible and form a prominent gospel theme. Chandler, a paralytic, brings real-life stories that ground the book in practical theology. Both are excellent writers. They complement each other well and write with passion and poignancy.
After reading this book, I am challenged to share my needs with others. I am encouraged to receive their care. And I am emboldened to meet the needs of others with the compassion of Christ.
