CAROL STREAM, Ill., June 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- The June issue of the Kyria digizine, available today, encourages women to be like Jesus and welcome people into their homes and their lives.
Editor Ginger Kolbaba says, "This month's issue of the Kyria digizine is on the spiritual discipline of hospitality--the practice of maintaining a welcoming attitude wherever we are. We want to encourage women to see the connection between giving and receiving hospitality and making people feel the presence of Jesus."
Featured is an interview with Michele Hershberger, Bible professor and author of A Christian View of Hospitality: Expecting Surprises. Hershberger says that hospitality is the intentional practice of putting yourself in a situation to both receive Christ and extend Christ's love to others. "Hospitality is putting my own needs and agendas aside to give that person what he or she needs."
