How does our biblical faith address this issue? And how should people of faith respond to the immigrant crisis? The principle of hospitality and the commandment to welcome the stranger are among the most consistent themes of the Bible. How does that apply to the question of undocumented immigrants in our own country?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn alternating chapters writer Ched Myers and pastor Matthew Colwell explore these questions. Myers examines the biblical dimensions of hospitality, sanctuary, the crossing of borders, and God's predilection for those on the margins. Colwell relates the stories of immigrants and immigrant rights activists--their hopes, dreams, and sufferings--men and women who, by acting upon their common humanity with the \"other,\" have learned to cross a different kind of boundary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ched Myers, Matthew Colwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570759561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570759567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.49w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 15","brand":"Ched Myers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202974531839,"sku":"9781570759567","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08266975-2c6e-4f66-b03d-abf4b81ef7b1.jpg?v=1756833949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/our-god-is-undocumented-ched-myers-9781570759567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
