Exploring the concept of God as a missionary and hospitable figure, this book emphasizes the importance of hospitality in the mission of God throughout Scripture. It illustrates how encounters at the table and welcoming environments facilitate belief among those yet to join the faith. The narrative draws connections from the Old and New Testaments, the Eucharist, and the practices of monks and modern missionaries. It advocates for the church to prioritize welcoming the stranger over traditional conquest, reflecting God's hospitable nature in its mission.
