The Hospitality Commands (Alexander Strauch)
$6.95$7.99
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.

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.

The Gospel Comes With a House Key (Rosaria Butterfield)
$19.99What 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 modest home, from a humble couple who lived out the gospel daily, simply, and authentically.
With this story of her conversion as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use this same “radical, ordinary hospitality” to bring the gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Such hospitality 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.

Love or Die: Christ’s Wake-Up Call to the Church (Alexander Strauch)
$11.50In this challenging exposition of Revelation 2:2-6, Strauch examines this alarming rebuke of Jesus Christ to his church. Part I of the book reminds us that “an individual or a church can teach sound doctrine, be faithful to the gospel, be morally upright and hard-working, and yet be lacking love and therefore, be displeasing to Christ.” Love can grow cold while outward religious performance appears acceptable–even praiseworthy.
