			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Hosting An Evangelistic Bible Study</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">There&#8217;s no better way to warm your home &#8230;</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;"> than with a neighborhood evangelistic Bible study.</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #993366;">&#8220;We had never seen ourselves as evangelists or missionaries and still don&#8217;t,&#8221; write Bob and Betty Jacks. &#8220;But the relationship we had in knowing Christ was too good not share it with others.&#8221;<br />
So they apprehensively opened their home for a weekly Bible study. Surprised by the results, Bob and Betty quickly shed their fears and proceeded to make significant impact on their community.<br />
Here&#8217;s the practical guidebook that grew out of the Jacks&#8217; years of experience with evangelistic studies. You&#8217;ll learn how to start one in your own home (or office or campus). You&#8217;ll find out who to invite. What to study. How to ask good questions. How to answer them. And when to encourage a decision for Christ.<br />
Ultimately, you&#8217;ll discover that the secret isn&#8217;t in your personal skills or power with people. It&#8217;s in a simple, heartfelt concern for your non-Christian friends &#8211; and the power of God&#8217;s Word.<br />
Now that&#8217;s the kind of housewarming your home needs!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Reaching Neighbors through Creative Hospitality</h2>
<h2>True or False? Christians Ought To Keep Up With The Joneses</h2>
<p>Mr and Mrs Joneslive next door. They seem pretty friendly. Their yard always looks nice and they drive a new Toyota. But is that all we know about them? What steps are we taking to truly share our lives with them?<br />
Intentional hospitality is the answer. With a correct, biblical perspective, we can learn to show God&#8217;s love without fear or anxiety. Our lives can be full of natural opportunities to witness and display His grace. But often we need to make the first move before we connect with those who live near us.<br />
This book invites us to shift our perspective on hospitality and see it as an incredible God-given strategy to share our lives and faith with those around us. With a comforting tone and numerous anecdotes, the authors show us that we needn&#8217;t worry: Most of our neighbors would love to know us and are searching for real answers to life&#8217;s tough questions. That&#8217;s why they are so responsive to our invitation to a neighborhood party.<br />
So take a chance. When you open your front door to others, you open your heart. You&#8217;ll find that God&#8217;s will use you in people&#8217;s lives. As you step out of your comfort zone and into your neighbors&#8217; lives, &#8220;keeping up with the Joneses&#8221; will take on a whole new meaning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>You can be a natural at hospitality</h2>
<p>You don&#8217;t need a flair for entertaining. And you don&#8217;t need a large home, gourmet cooking skills, or lots of leisure time. Because, according to Rachael Crabb, true biblical hospitality is shown when you encourage another person &#8211; whether it&#8217;s a cup of coffee with a co-worker, an elegant dinner for friends, a phone call, a note, or just taking time to listen.</p>
<p>In &#8216;The Personal Touch&#8217;, Mrs Crabb provides practical insights on genuine hospitality. &#8220;&#8221;The key,&#8221; she says, &#8220;is focus on people, not on preparations.&#8221; She offers useful tips to help you keep things simple so you can enjoy practicing hospitality, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Emergency menus for surprise guests</li>
<li>Quick-fix recipes that taste great and look elegant</li>
<li>Theme party ideas, with suggestions for menus, decorations, and activities</li>
<li>Creative conversation starters</li>
<li>Good ways to make guests fell welcome immediately</li>
<li>Special ways to encourage others</li>
</ul>
<p>So if you&#8217;ve always wanted to be one of those people who is a &#8220;natural&#8221; at hospitality, you don&#8217;t have to wait any longer. The Personal Touch will give you the ideas and the confidence to practice encouragement with your own unique style. And soon, opening your home and your heart will be as natural as it is enjoyable!</p>
