Rosaria Butterfield writes a compelling case for radical hospitality; finding practical ways to love and serve your neighbours is something we can all be encouraged in from time to time. Her writing style is clear and concise and takes readers on a journey through her neighbourhood. I think a strength of the book was the examples of the way she and her husband open their home (soup and buns, air mattresses in the kids rooms, driving friends to appointments). I appreciated all the ideas from someone who is further along than I. While at times, I wanted to put the book down in frustration (there are seasons when serving is hard), but I think we can all take something from this book. Sometimes we're the host and sometimes we're the guest, as Butterfield explains, but it's important to do what we can with what we have where we are. A great read for anyone looking to grow in the gift of hospitality.
