Hm. Let’s see if the blurb sheds any light:
A historical novel based on a true story about a wealthy Dutch woman, who went to Palestine in 1873, in order to build a gigantic, unique house in Jerusalem intended for Jesus Christ. She came to fulfil a divine message she received in a vision, in which Jesus begged her to build him a house to stay-in, after he descends from heaven to earth, following Doomsday.
Aha. I got nothing.
That sounds awesome – can I crash in Jesus’ house too? I bet it has a pool, tennis courts, bowling alleys, and an IMAX theatre!
You’d think with his carpentry training he’d be up for building his own damn house rather than contracting the job out to some random Dutchwoman. Anyway, why is “stay in” hyphenated?
