Publishers Weekly : A probing and personal debut . . . [that] builds a compelling case for Christians to welcome immigrants. Will you beware or be welcoming? As a young Christian, Sarah Quezada had a heart for social justice. She was also blissfully unaware of the real situations facing today's immigrants. Until she met someone new. . . who happened to be undocumented. In Love Undocumented , Quezada takes readers on a journey deep into the world of the U.S. immigration system. Follow her as she walks alongside her new friend, meets with lawyers, stands at the U.S.–Mexico border, and visits immigrants in detention centers. With wisdom from Scripture, research, and these experiences, Quezada explores God’s call to welcome the stranger and invites Christians to consider how to live faithfully in the world of closed doors and high fences. Is it possible to abandon fear and cultivate authentic relationships with new arrivals? What if hospitality to immigrant and refugee neighbors puts us at personal risk? How can churches create safe spaces for those living at the precarious edge of our society? With Quezada as your guide, discover a subversive Savior who never knew a stranger. Get to know the God of the Bible, whose love and grace cross all borders. Respond to an invitation to turn away from fear and enter a bigger story. Free downloadable study guide available here . "Love Undocumented will have you alternating between laughter and tears. Both personal and profound, this deftly written book will both entertain you and move you closer to God's heart for the immigrant." -- Matthew Soerens ― Reviews "Immigration is a hot-button topic but one that is rarely addressed in thoughtful, nuanced, dignifying ways by the people who are most affected by this issue. I am incredibly impatient for Love Undocumented to be published, so I can give it to everyone I know." -- D. L. Mayfield ― Reviews "In Love Undocumented, Sarah Quezada peels back the curtain on complex immigration issues and those trapped within them. At a time when division reigns, Sarah offers an invitation to walk in solidarity and kinship with our immigrant neighbor." -- Shannan Martin ― 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 "If you believe that you should love your neighbor, read this book. Sarah Quezada has a life story of living love and will give you the chance to see a greater view of your neighbor in today's world." -- Jeff Shinabarger ― 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 "Love Undocumented is a poignant and highly revealing account of a journey into the perplexing, ethically conflicted, heartrending world of undocumented immigrants. A winsome and convicting work." -- Bob Lupton ― Reviews "Love Undocumented is a wonderful story that will capture your imagination. Sarah Quezada is a gifted storyteller who has us laughing one minute, crying the next, and then wincing from punch-in-the-gut analysis. You will be delighted by the story and convicted by the message." -- Leroy Barber ― 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. In this climate, Sarah Quezada has written Love Undocumented: a poignant, honest, and nuanced account of her journey into the complex but real stories of immigration. 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 "In Love Undocumented, Sarah Quezada has given us a much-needed narrative combined with great knowledge of the issues surrounding immigration. Blending story and factual data, Quezada places humanity back into this heated debate of immigration. I highly recommend this book." -- Daniel White Hodge ― Reviews "I have not anticipated a book as much as I have Love Undocumented. Within these pages, you'll meet Sarah Quezada, a leader whose passion for bridge-building is evident in every story, every fact, every call to action. Both winsome and wise, this is the book we need right now." -- Osheta Moore ― 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 thi
