A menudo asumimos que Estados Unidos necesita ayudar a los inmigrantes, pero en Los nuevos peregrinos, Joseph Castleberry nos muestra cómo es lo contrario, y cómo podemos unirnos a uno de los movimientos espirituales más grandes que este país haya visto.
En medio de un aparente declive religioso en los Estados Unidos, muchos estadounidenses están buscando soluciones a este dilema. Nuestra esperanza está en los inmigrantes cristianos, quienes traen a nuestras iglesias poderosos testimonios de fe de culturas de todo el mundo. Una vez los "nuevos peregrinos" establecen sus vidas en este país, cautivan arrolladoramente a la iglesia estadounidense y ayudan a reconstruir los fundamentos conservadores de los Estados Unidos. Es hora de reconocer este momento emocionante de renovación espiritual, y abrazar las opciones políticas y relacionales que una vez más establecerán a Estados Unidos como la "ciudad que resplandece en la colina" que todos queremos que sea. We often assume America needs to help immigrants, but in The New Pilgrims, Joseph Castleberry opens our eyes to how the opposite is true-and how we can join in one of the greatest spiritual movements this country has ever seen. In the midst of an apparent religious decline in the United States, many Americans are looking for solutions to this dilemma. Our hope lies with Christian immigrants, who bring to our churches powerful testimonies of faith from cultures all over the world. As the "new pilgrims" settle into their lives here, they are taking the American church by storm and helping rebuild America's conservative foundations. It's time to acknowledge this exciting time of spiritual renewal and embrace the political and relational choices that will once again establish America as the "shining city on a hill" we all want it to be.Author Biography
