In order to draw Butterfield, a radical, committed unbeliever, to himself he used an invitation to dinner in a modest home, from a humble couple who lived out the gospel daily, simply, and authentically. 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. -- adapted from jacket
