The Gospel Comes With a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World by Rosaria Butterfield
"Perhaps it can correct any misunderstanding that discipleship and counseling is complicated, difficult, and only for super-Christians since it discusses discipleship from the angle of hospitality. Many women are already used to being hospitable with their homes, so they're already in their comfort zone. They just need to learn how to use their hospitality to create an environment for spiritual conversations to take place."
