Description Product Details The Hospitality Commands Building Loving Christian Community: Building Bridges to Friends and Neighbors Have you learned to use your home to strengthen the loving Christian community of which you are a part? Have you built bridges to friends and neighbors by means of opening your home to them – especially those who do not know Christ? In our self-centered era, a Christian family who fearlessly welcome strangers into their home are a rarity and surprise to the world! Hospitality is a largely untapped but surprisingly effective means of evangelism. Strauch has written a valuable guide on how Christians must actively practice hospitality (“stranger-love”, the Greek word means) doing much more than merely laying the duty upon us, but explaining with helpful tips how to turn your home into a ministry to all peoples by extending yourself to bless others. Too few Christians today understand how dramatically they can transform their local church by imitating Christ in this matter of hospitality.
