"What a timely book Jalil Dawood has written! The news is plastered with stories of refugees day after day, yet this is a gripping story told by a refugee that will open your eyes and soften your heart. The Refugee will take you on a journey as you walk alongside Jalil, but even more importantly, it will inspire you into action. My heart was pounding as I read about Jalil's adventures. It's time we STOP getting our world view from cable news. Let's take it from the Bible and from great writings like The Refugee. Thank you Jalil! Keep writing." Tom Doyle, Bestselling Author of Standing in the Fire and Killing Christians, President of Uncharted Ministries "Once you start reading Jalil's story, you will find it hard to stop. You will come away with a renewed excitement and appreciation of how a God of grace works in bringing people to Himself. You will also learn practical ideas on how to help refugees discover the Gospel of Grace and adjust to a new culture and a new life in Christ." Dr. R. Larry Moyer, Founder and CEO, EvanTell Ministries "Jalil's incredible story is something every person and for sure, every Christian needs to read. He's a refreshing and defining voice of clarity on the global refugee crisis -- living through and actually being a refugee himself he provides real "life" insight into what refugees experience, as well as what it truly means to love your neighbor." Norm Miller, Chairman, Interstate Batteries Jalil Dawood is head of World Refugee Care and serves as a pastor for immigrants and refugees from the Middle East. He is also a refugee from Iraq -- and has a unique perspective on the church's role in supporting refugees. In this new memoir, Dawood uses biblical lessons and his own experiences to show the importance of compassion in the global refugee crisis. He urges the church to keep from turning a blind eye to the persecution and suffering in the world. Dawood's personal journey is both troubling and inspiring, but he doesn't stop at his own testimony. He remembers the millions of people still in danger due to political, religious, or social affiliations. With the rise of ISIS and instability in the Middle East, Dawood's work is prescient and powerful. He looks to the Bible to answer questions raised by believers. What should we do if we encounter a refugee? How should the church help in the current crisis? In answering these questions, Dawood also raises one of his own: What are you doing to help? He forces you to examine your own actions and position on refugees and encourages you to embrace compassion, faith, and grace. Put down your fear and believe in the miraculous in life!

For the millions of people who reside outside their native countries, Blessed Migrants shares God's strategy in reaching the changing world through teaching Abraham's four everlasting promises. Dr. Samuel Lee, founder of Jesus Christ Foundation Churches and an international outreach ministry, answers a personal calling to help migrants understand the important role they play in the kingdom of God and to encourage revivals in their hosting nations. By discussing the history of migrants through Biblical stories, he illustrates how today migrants can becomes an instrument of love and a blessing to others-literally transforming themselves into modern-day Abrahams, Josephs, Jacobs and Ruths. Dr. Lee also focuses on the biblical conditions that must be realized in order for current migrants to be blessed and how a Christian migrant can successfully interact with other cultures and host nations. Several migrant-exporting nations are described including the Philippines, Africa, and Korea. Abraham was a migrant and pioneer of faith who dutifully followed the Lord's command. The blessings he received from God still to this day remain inspiration for migrants who want to make a global impact through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Today’s refugee crisis has engulfed public policy and politics in countries around the world, deeply dividing communities. With increased migration many fear terrorism, crime and a dilution of their perceived national identity, while others embrace it as an inevitable reality of the globalized world in which we live. But what does the Bible have to say about migration and displacement and how refugees, migrants, and the stateless should be treated? Strangers in the Kingdom asks why God cares for the displaced, presenting biblical, theological, and missiological foundations for ministries to those who have been uprooted from their homes and all that is familiar. Rupen Das and Brent Hamoud apply their experience and expertise to provide timely answers that the Christian community is waiting to hear. Addressing the humanitarian and legal needs of the displaced is the starting point, but relief, repatriation, and resettlement programs need to help the stranger find a place to belong, a place to call home.

The twentieth century has seen people displaced on an unprecedented scale and has brought concerns about refugees into sharp focus. There are forty million refugees in the world—1 in 130 inhabitants of this planet. In this first interdisciplinary study of the issue, fifteen scholars from diverse fields focus on the worldwide disruption of "trust" as a sentiment, a concept, and an experience. Contributors provide a rich array of essays that maintain a delicate balance between providing specific details of the refugee experience and exploring corresponding theories of trust and mistrust. Their subjects range widely across the globe, and include Palestinians, Cambodians, Tamils, and Mayan Indians of Guatemala. By examining what individuals experience when removed from their own culture, these essays reflect on individual identity and culture as a whole.

Helping Hands Ministry in Athens, Greece, shines as a bright beacon on the long and treacherous refugee highway.

In our increasingly xenophobic world, countries are turning away refugees and immigrants. Based on the situation in Kenya, this book offers a countercultural ethic of hospitality and welcome to the stranger, an ethic fraught with dangers and yet filled with great opportunities for transforming our world. Drawing on the scriptural pilgrim motif and specifically on the book of Hebrews, this study paints a picture of refugees not only as needy strangers to be herded into camps, but as brothers and sisters who bring with them treasures and talents that can enrich our understanding of our Christian identity and mission as pilgrims in the world. The hospitality practice seen in Hebrews offers hope and promise not only for refugees themselves but also for the pilgrim church. Like the ancient heroes of faith portrayed in Hebrews, we too live as pilgrims and aliens who await with hope the city whose architect and founder is God. Refugees in fact teach us how to live our pilgrim identity: they become teachers not only for the church in Kenya but also for the body of Christ worldwide.

In The American Miracle- Divine Providence in the Rise of the Republic, Michael Medved uncovered a pattern of extraordinary and improbable turns in the young nation's ascent to power. Now, in the anticipated second volume, the nation's epic tale enters the modern era. As the civil war comes to an end and reconstruction begins, the Union is narrowly saved from total demise. But contempt still runs hot through the battered nation, and the future of the United States is still at stake. In This Favored Land, Medved reveals the instruments of fate that took the bedraggled country from its lowest point to her dominant role on the world stage today. Following the paths of American heroes and the little known figures who played indispensable roles in the unfolding of the nation's freakishly fortunate destiny, This Favored Land proves that the founding fathers were right- God has always been--and continues to be--at work in shaping the fate of the nation.
