From Risk To Resilience: How Empowering Young Women Can Change Everything

Immigration advocate Karen Gonzalez recounts her familys migration from the instability of Guatemala to making a new life in Los Angeles and the suburbs of south Florida. In the midst of language barriers, cultural misunderstandings, and the tremendous pressure to assimilate, Gonzalez encounters Christ through a campus ministry program and begins to follow him. Gonzalez weaves the sweeping epic of immigrants and refugees in Scripture into her story, including Abraham, Hagar, Joseph, and Ruth, who also crossed borders seeking refuge. As witnesses to Gods liberating power, they name the God they see at work, and they become grafted onto Gods family tree. Grounded in her own experience and work with World Relief, Gonzalez empowers readers to welcome immigrants in their community and speak out about a broken immigration system. Find the power of Jesus, a refugee Savior who calls us to become citizens in a country not of this world.
