Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
How to make disciples using hospitality
Deep down, every Christian wants to make a difference. But for many of us, the years come and go and we never do. The good news is: change can be as simple as opening your front door.
The Simplest Way to Change the World is about biblical hospitality and its power for the gospel. Since people will sooner enter a living room than a church, hospitality is a natural and effective way to build relationships for Christ. You’ll learn:
Hospitality is a beautiful legacy of the church, and a great way to make disciples. As you open your life up to others, you share in the very character of God and experience His joy. And you get to witness lives change—including your own.

Biblical hospitality is not complicated, but it is hard. It is also unfortunately absent from much of our missional conversation. We tend to drift toward a subtle idolatry of our homes, forgetting God’s great hospitality toward us and undermining one of the greatest tools we have in our gospel mission. This book is immensely helpful in unpacking the astounding realities that fuel our hospitality while giving practical application for ordinary believers to engage in the radical, everyday ministry Jesus has entrusted to us.

Every moment in life, from the exhilarating to the mundane, is an opportunity to remain living on mission for the glory of God. Willis and Clements offer the body of Christ the much-needed reminder of how it’s the day in and day out faithful witness of the church that changes the world. What a simple yet profound concept!
