The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World (Rosaria Butterfield)

Description

What did God use to draw a radical, committed unbeliever to himself? Did God take her to an evangelistic rally? Or, since she had her doctorate in literature, did he use something in print? No, God used an invitation to dinner in a The modest home, from a humble couple who lived out the gospel daily, simply, and authentically.

With this story of her connection as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield Invites US Into Her Home to Show God This Same Same "Radical, Ordinary Hospitalit y "to bring the gospel to our long friend and neighbors. Such hostality sees our homes as not our own, but as God's tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives—helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.
