5.0 out of 5 stars Un excelente libro sobre el tejido más frágil en los procesos migratorios: los niños. March 8, 2013

By Ismael Martín del Campo, Secretario de Educación Cristiana, Asamblea Apostólica, Estados Unidos.

Format:Paperback

La pluma experimentada de esta reconocida académica nos ha dado un libro de enorme utilidad pastoral para las iglesias, agencias comunitarias y familias inmigrantes. Este texto es crítico para servir a los más débiles entre los débiles: los niños indocumentados en familias de padres indocumentados.
Lo recomiendo a los pastores que sirven a comunidades inmigrantes en cualquier parte del mundo. También estoy convencido que debe formar parte del entrenamiento teológico en institutos bíblicos y seminarios teológicos.
El libro es especialmente valioso pos las voces recuperadas en las entrevistas, que le devuelven su rostro humano a los dolorosos procesos migratorios. Los inmigrantes no son estadísticas, son personas con la imagen de Dios. Y también el libro es de inmediata utilidad por las orientaciones prácticas que la autora incorpora en cada capítulo.
