Imagine what it would be like to welcome a stranger when the world seems so closed off and untrusting. What if that stranger turned out to be someone important—maybe even the most important person you could serve? Holy Stranger revisits the story of our very own Lord and Savior, who even in his womb was knocking on doors looking for someone to welcome him and his family. Not long after Jesus is born, his family must flee from Bethlehem to Egypt in order to avoid an evil king. In this way, Jesus and his family become strangers, or immigrants and refugees.

Doki: The Immigrant Dog is based on a true and heartfelt story that will resonate with all pet lovers. This book is also a tender account of the immigration story—a Venezuelan family who flees unsafe conditions, weathering dangers to walk to the Mexico-USA border. Along the way, they bring along with them Doki, the family’s dog. Woven throughout the immigration story is the love and care for animals that is shared across borders. The story also captures the struggles that the family faces while trying to reach safety and asylum.
