Although hospitality was central to Christian identity and practice in earlier centuries, our generation knows little about its life-giving character. <em>Making Room</em> revisits the Christian foundations of welcoming strangers and explores the necessity, difficulty, and blessing of hospitality today.<br/><br/>Combining rich biblical and historical research with extensive exposure to contemporary Christian communities -- the Catholic Worker, L'Abri, L'Arche, and others -- this book shows how understanding the key features of hospitality can better equip us to faithfully carry out the practical call of the gospel.
