"This book needs to be in the hands of those seeking to love immigrants and of immigrant advocates". Many of us have good intentions, working hard to welcome immigrants with hospitality and solidarity. But how can we do that in a way that empowers our immigrant neighbors rather than pushing them to the fringes of white-dominant culture. Karen González draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism is at best incomplete and at worst harmful. She advocates putting immigrants in the center of the conversation and helps us recognize ourselves in our immigrant neighbors. "González brings clarity to how white supremacy and American exceptionalism play a role in our desire to be heroes of good immigrants. This book needs to be in the hands of those seeking to love immigrants and of immigrant advocates. "-Sandra Maria Van Opstal. , pastor, author, activist"An important and compelling work; it provides a road map to help all of us fully live out what it means to love our neighbors as ourselves. "-Rev. Adam Taylor. , president of Sojourners; author of A More Perfect Union. "This book is a sacred and necessary gift to the church. "-Kat Armas. , host of The Protagonistas. podcast; author of Abuelita Faith. "Whether you agree with González's conclusions or not-I usually did, occasionally did not, and in a few cases am still wrestling with what I think, long after reading this poignant book-you will find Beyond Welcome. to be challenging, constructive, and helpful. "-Matthew Soerens. , US director of church mobilization and advocacy, World Relief; coauthor of Welcoming the Stranger. "We all need to take the challenges in Beyond Welcome. seriously, particularly those of us who care about Christian engagement in immigrant ministry. "-Rev. Alexia Salvatierra. , academic dean, Centro Latino, Fuller Theological Seminary
