This Spring, we are readingThe God Who Sees by Karen González. The following is the back cover synopsis of the book:
"Here is a riveting story of seeking safety in another land. Here is a gripping journey of loss, alienation, and belonging.
In The God Who Sees, immigration advocate Karen González recounts her family's migration from Guatemala to Los Angeles
and the suburbs of south Florida. Here, too, is the sweeping epic of immigrants and refugees in Scripture - intrepid heroes
of the faith cross borders and seek refuge."
Please purchase your own copy of the book, but if you need assistance, contact Pastor Erin Rinaca.
