Stranger God: Meeting Jesus in Disguise by Richard BeckMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is one of those books where the author is living his topic, therefore has "skin in the game." It reads from the front lines, down in the dirt, personal.
The perspective Beck offers is practical and heartfelt about hospitality. It is also convicting - to me.
Here are some highlights from the book, and Matthew 25:31-46

We fail at hospitality because hospitality doesn’t begin with a program, with a new “welcoming” or “neighboring” initiative. Hospitality has to begin in the heart.
Hospitality, expanding the moral circle, is how the early Christians overcame these ethnic and racial divisions. Because the gospel was at stake.
Hospitality is exactly how we’ll overcome our own present-day divisions. We care for and break bread with those we ignore and exclude.
