Happy Hour

ALL GOOD MISSIONARIES KNOW THE POWER OF SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT. Wherever we're called to bring the good news, people won't move spiritually until they are connected socially. In other words, to help people hear the gospel, we need to open our front doors, set our tables, and practice hospitality and celebration.Hugh Halter calls us to rediscover the ancient art of party and to follow in the patterns of Jesus- redefining holiness not as exclusion from the world but as holy engagement with the world. Party is sacrament, and we must reorient our lives around friends, food, and celebration if we are to have any influence upon the culture right next door.Happy Hour unpacks the theology of party and is full of practical ideas for making merriment a way of life and a way of mission.
