Strangers at My Door: A True Story of Finding Jesus in Unexpected Guests

di Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove (Autore)

Random House USA Inc, 2013

Jesus said, "I was a stranger and you welcomed me." How would your life change if you were committed to acting on his words? Using the power of well-told stories, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove shows readers how they can experience Jesus every day as they minister to "the least of these my brethren." As a teenager, the author started to read the New Testament as if Jesus really did mean everything he said. How would a person's life change if he or she assumed that Jesus's more outlandish statements were not mere figures of speech? Jesus pointed to the most neglected people of his day and said that when you minister to them you minister to him directly. Wilson-Hartgrove chose to act on those words, believing that Jesus appears to us in the neediest people we encounter. The author is a popular speaker and one of the founders of the growing New Monastic movement. In inner-city Durham, North Carolina, he and fellow believers welcome every person who comes to their door--without exception.
