If you really stress out when people come to your house, then you might struggle with hospitality. You don't need to be a perfect hostess or housekeeper to have people feel welcome in your home. "Hospitality in a Nutroll" is an entertaining book of stories, examples, and guidelines on how to be hospitable in many different situations. Rebeca DePra shares the secrets and shortcuts she has learned through her life experience and her faith. What if your parents are staying overnight (or your in-laws, Yikes ), or perhaps a friend of your spouse shows up for dinner unexpectedly? What to do? What do you feed them? What if the house is a wreck? Find answers in this sometimes humorous approach to hospitality. If all else fails, you can use the "secret weapon of welcome" - serve your guests the delicious Nutroll. Rebeca Freytes Chico DePra known to most as Becky, is a Christian, an artist, a teacher, a stay at home mom of three, and a loving wife. She has ADHD which makes her spontaneous and often hilarious (according to her husband). Becky feels called to share her understanding of hospitality with others. Born in Puerto Rico, she grew up in a culture where spontaneous hospitality comes naturally. As a pastor's child, her home was open to all, from dignitaries to the homeless. Her mother's example taught her to be hospitable to everyone, regardless of their status. Her Paternal Grandmother (Abuela Regina) showed her that offering a simple drink of water could bless a stranger. Becky has been blessed with many life experiences, both good and bad, that have taught her to trust in the Lord, and to make guests feel welcome no matter what the circumstances.

This book shows how Christians make their homes warm, friendly, and comforting places to welcome guests and share the gospel.
