But how can we do that in a way that empowers our immigrant neighbors rather than pushing them to the fringes of white-dominant culture and keeping them as outsiders? That's exactly the question Karen Gonz疝ez explores in \u003ci\u003eBeyond Welcome\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Guatemalan immigrant, Gonz疝ez draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism is at best incomplete and at worst harmful. By advocating for putting immigrants in the center of the conversation, Gonz疝ez helps readers grow in discipleship and recognize themselves in their immigrant neighbors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessible to any Christian who is called to serve immigrants, this book equips readers to take action to dismantle white supremacy and xenophobia in the church. They will emerge with new insight into our shared humanity and need for belonging and liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Gonz疝ez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1587435608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587435607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brazos Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 5.54w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022 pg. 145","brand":"Karen Gonz疝ez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068669751551,"sku":"9781587435607","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68c0801b-f40c-4c51-aa43-128beda21aa1.jpg?v=1685420340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-welcome-karen-gonz-lez-9781587435607","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
