"While Sorens and Hwang may not answer all your questions about the correct response to current immigration policies and, indeed, may even raise more complex questions, they do show us that, if we are to act justly, we will have to consider all its complexities."

"Welcoming the Stranger offers an introduction to the many aspects of immigration and the controversies surrounding it."

"Welcoming the Stranger lays the groundwork for and practically equips Christians to continue practicing what it means to follow Christ's commandment to love God and love neighbor in a fallen world."

"Soerens and Hwang argue persuasively that immigration has been and is valuable to the United States."

"Soerens and Hwang advocate a generous, biblically based invitation to all immigrants to take part in America. This book will not persuade all Christians to support liberalized immigration laws, but even the skeptical should find the authors' approach useful."

"Soerens and Hwang have injected justice, compassion, and truth into what needs to become a new conversation on immigration--values that are often in short supply in this debate."

"Soerens and Hwang do an impressive job making a complex and charged issue accessible for the average reader."

"In this highly engaging, well researched and documented book, Soerens and Hwang team up to survey and analyze the history of immigration in the United States and attempt to solve many of the problems that immigration faces through well-reasoned argumentation and personal experience. Most importantly, they do all of this not through the eyes of partisan politics, but rather through the lens of the Christian worldview. Welcoming the Stranger is a timely and important book at a point in America's history where the immigrant population is considerably growing and many Americans seek to 'do something about it.'"

"A fresh, compelling call from Scripture to live out the gospel with boldness and courage in the twenty-first century. A significant pivotal guide for the church in these times."

"In the next forty years there will be an estimated 132 million Latinos in this nation, and a critical concern for our community is fixing our broken immigration system. Welcoming the Stranger is a must-read that helps us to embrace a biblical response to this critical issue."

"Welcoming the Stranger gives the body of Christ a clear, scriptural foundation of the Christian's heart posture in the discussion on immigration. Jenny and Matthew set us on the course of a third way that embodies biblical justice, redemption, and compassion. This book calls us to take a deep look at our worldviews and belief systems to understand what systems are influencing them the most. It is a must-read for those wanting to have reform and a biblical response to a critical issue that will affect the church for generations to come."
