Seeking Refuge de Stephan Bauman

Seeking Refuge

Autor Stephan Bauman, Matthew Soerens, Dr Issam Smeir
en Limba Engleză Paperback

The world is witnessing its worst refugee crisis in recorded history, and the videos and images that have surfaced are harrowing. Many of us wonder how we can help, but at the same time we are nervous we want to be compassionate, but we are concerned about the risks.

"Seeking Refuge "speaks right into that tension. It explores the salient issues and dilemmas, the theological and moral arguments, the economic costs and benefits of welcoming refugees, and more. Informed by real stories from refugee communities around the world, "Seeking Refuge "will equip you for a compassionate response to refugees and other displaced people, one that displays God s redeeming power to a broken world.

The church has an opportunity to lead out on one of the most important issues of our time. Someday our Lord will say, I was a stranger and you welcomed me... Will he be talking about us?"

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 andcomplex?

InSeeking 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 portrayalof the plight of refugees and the extraordinary opportunity we have tolove our neighbors asourselves.
