Reviews

Blending story and factual data, Quezada places humanity back into this heated debate of immigration. I highly recommend this book."--Daniel White Hodge "Reviews"

"Love Undocumented is a beautifully written book about what happens when a political issue becomes intimately personal. Sarah Quezada reminds us that immigration involves real people with real stories and that everything changes when we enter into deep relationships with them."--Shawn Casselberry "Reviews"

"Not many topics are more charged in today's world than the topic of immigration--not just in the larger culture but also in the church.

This is a book that invites you into the story and ultimately, into the heart of God. Stop shouting for a moment and read this book!"--Eugene Cho "Reviews"

"Sarah Quezada has written a masterpiece. Quezada dives into the biblical basis for our concern for immigrants, reminding us that we have a God of radical hospitality and liberation and that we worship a Savior who was a displaced Galilean. But perhaps the most important thing Quezada does is make this 'issue' personal. Quezada puts a name and face on who our neighbor really is."--Shane Claiborne "Reviews"

"Sarah Quezada invites us into the complex and convoluted world of U.S. immigration laws through her life experience and through a solid biblical and theological interpretation of God's love and care for foreigners and migrants. Quezada's challenge to trust God and immigrants is particularly timely."--Juan Francisco Martinez "Reviews"

"Weaving personal story, biblical principles, and informed facts around immigration, Love Undocumented gives voice to the injustice facing undocumented immigrants and their families, further compelling us to move beyond our fear toward building transforming relationships."--Michelle Warren "Reviews"

Journalist Quezada wrestles with the Christian response to immigration in her probing and personal debut. The backbone of the book is her story of moving to a largely immigrant community in downtown Los Angeles and her cross-cultural courtship with Billy, an immigrant with a visa problem who eventually achieved full citizenship. Throughout her telling of Billy's story, Quezada examines the religious basis of biblical truths and the shifting legal sands that immigrants must wander as they live and work in legal limbo. She details both state and federal legislation (including actions by the Trump administration through mid-2017) as she builds a compelling case for Christians to welcome immigrants. She calls on the church to educate their congregations and address the uncomfortable question: "What will we do if Christlike behavior becomes criminalized?" Quezada also examines instances where Christians have responded to the needs of undocumented workers, concentrating on the New Sanctuary Movement and El Refugio, a ministry to detainees and their families. Quezada challenges readers to overcome barriers and welcome strangers, regardless of their immigration status.-- "Reviews"
