What will rule our hearts: fear or compassion?
We can't ignore the refugee crisis--arguably the greatest geo-political issue of our time--but how do we even begin to respond to something so massive and complex?
In Seeking Refuge, three experts from World Relief, a global organization serving refugees, offer a practical, well-rounded, well-researched guide to the issue.
- Who are refugees and other displaced peoples?
- What are the real risks and benefits of receiving them?
- How do we balance compassion and security?
Drawing from history, public policy, psychology, many personal stories, and their own unique Christian worldview, the authors offer a nuanced and compelling portrayal of the plight of refugees and the extraordinary opportunity we have to love our neighbors as ourselves.
MATTHEW SOERENS serves as the Vice President of Advocacy & Policy for World Relief. He is the coauthor of Welcoming the Stranger: Justice, Compassion & Truth in the Immigration Debate and Inalienable: How Marginalized Kingdom Voices Can Help Save the American Church. Matt lives in Aurora, Illinois with his wife, Diana, and their four children.
ISSAM SMEIR is a clinician and author committed to serving refugees and trauma-affected communities worldwide. He and his wife, Stephanie, are raising four boys who remind them of the importance of faith, resilience, hope, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
