BOOKS TO READ AN INVITATION TO THE TABLE by Michelle Lazurek Author Michelle Lazurek has experienced the grace of hospitality and passes along that blessing to others, so she knows her subject well. In An Invitation to the Table, she helps readers see that hospitality is not just entertaining in your home but entering into the lives of others wherever you may be, showing kindness and grace wherever there is need. Rejected by her parents at age 20 because of her faith, a church family took in Michelle. After she married, she in turn took in a young woman who needed a home. While few of us may have opportunities to offer such extreme hospitality, we all can bless others every day. And that’s being hospitable. This is an important read for Christians because Lazurek offers a fresh take on a spiritual gift rarely emphasized in churches. Yet this gift offers unlimited opportunities for ministry to the ordinary person in the pew who may fail to realize his or her potential. — Shirley Brosius
