Overview
Now available in trade paper! Now more than ever, the world is hungry to gather and thirsty for connection. Many of us wish to share a meal, share our faith, and share our lives with others. We want to open our home to friends and neighbors for the sake of meaningful community, but we're overwhelmed with hospitality hang-ups. How do I extend an invitation? What will they think of my house or the food? Our welcome has been influenced by the messages of the world that tell us hospitality is about our ability to be, host, live, and cook a certain way. In Gather and Give, Amy Hannon inspires you to embrace the simple hospitality of the Bible that values connection more than perfection and people more than presentation. Amy shares scriptural principles and practical ideas to make everyday hospitality a natural, joy-filled part of your life. You will feel encouraged and equipped to view your home as: a holy wellspring of welcome to offer hope to a weary world; a strategic springboard for ministering to those around you; and the perfect platform for influencing others for Christ. Find freedom in knowing that the hospitality of the Bible is uncomplicated and effortless, that a welcome can be used by God to share His love and hope with the world, and that there is abounding joy in following the Lord in His hospitality command. Whether preparing shrimp and grits for a crowd or picking up barbecue with new neighbors, you can invite with intention, plate with purpose, and love others well.

Author Information
Amy Nelson Hannon gathered goods and treasures to create Euna Mae's Heirloom Kitchen Boutique booth at a regional holiday shopping event. Not only did Amy find a market for her carefully curated products, but she discovered there was a growing demand for them. In a marketplace that swings from fancy and foraged to homegrown, Amy has settled on a perfect blend of family, friends, and food. Her message that welcoming others into your home can be uncomplicated and lovely is a refreshing voice in a hospitality field that is filled with complicated recipes, expensive ingredients, and, quite frankly, involves a whole lot of work. For Amy it always goes back to the heart--a heart to love, welcome, and serve.
