I\u2019m a new follower of Brian\u2019s blog, but he\u2019s such a solid theologian and I love how he brings everything back to Jesus and preaches a Jesus looking picture of God.\u00a0 Recently I learned from him that in Luke, Jesus practices radical hospitality and reveals the Kingdom of God through sharing meals with people, more so in this Gospel than any other, so what better book to read this month as I sit here at my kitchen table meeting Jesus over my eggs, granola, coffee cup, and toast?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oshetablogs.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/img_4106.jpg\" class=\"
