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 virtual strangers into their home are such a rarity and a surprise to the world!

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.
