This delightful little book is a collection of short stories written almost in a diary style. They cover tales from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the author's own life. In each story, the theme of eating together is woven in as hospitality is elevated. Douglas postulates that God is the ultimate host and guest as He seeks to both serve and be served. This book is such fun to read and really made me think. It is a relaxing read for a bus, train, or other trip. You can put it down for a few days and pick it up later without missing a beat. When rewriting the Bible stories, I like how Douglas didn't just regurgitate what's already written in the scriptures. Rather, he tells the stories thru the eyes of Bible character, adding in extra emotion and reliability. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it quite literally gave me some food for thought!
