The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World
with Study Questions
Rosaria Butterfield’s Bestselling Book on Faith and Hospitality, Now with Engaging Study Questions
The word hospitality often invokes a scene of a gracious, impeccably fashioned host welcoming guests into a beautifully appointed home prepared with perfectly presented meals. However, when the Bible calls Christians to be hospitable, it’s calling them to much more. In this book, Rosaria Butterfield invites readers into her home and shows from her own life and experience how “radically ordinary hospitality” can be a bridge for bringing the gospel to lost friends and neighbors—something that she experienced herself on her journey to Christ. Such hospitality welcomes those who look, think, believe, and act differently than us into our own everyday, sometimes messy lives. Christians will be inspired and equipped to use their homes and tables as a way of showing a skeptical, unbelieving world what love and authentic faith really look like.
- Practical Application: Offers strategies for showing radical hospitality in a post-Christian world
- Thoughtful and Engaging: Rosaria Butterfield speaks from her own experience of being on the receiving end of radically ordinary hospitality
- Accessible: Helps readers overcome fears about opening their homes and lives, especially to unbelievers
- With Study Questions: Designed to help you reflect on the chapters alone or discuss them with a group
- Winner of the 2019 Christianity Today Book Award in the Christian Living & Discipleship Category
