WHO: Bri Stensrud, director of Women of Welcome.

SHE SAYS: “Christians must be people moved to compassion, as Jesus was.”

THE PROGRESSION: In nine chapters, the author breaks down passages of Scripture that address how God instructed Christians to treat refugees, provides moving stories, explains why this issue should be important to the church, and offers ways the church can help.

“We feed the poor, but do we know them?”
