Description: Annan identifies fear and misunderstanding as the major blocks to communities both national and local in welcoming the stranger. Hence when such fear rather than love is the driving force behind our life choices and public policies, the suffering of the world is intensified rather than alleviated. Annan's point of departure is that perfect love casts out fear.

In his gifted way of storytelling, Annan offers stories, information and accessible action plans which have a twofold impact. The book offers the possibility of transforming readers' hearts as the current refugee and immigrant crisis is seen in a new light. In addition Annan offers simple practices for a way forward which melt the boundaries of the social and cultural divides. These include identifying what separates us, listening well and partnering with instead of patronising those in need. In essence, Annan offers an invitation to love like Jesus loves―with arms wide-open―and to be as welcoming, accepting and hospitable to others as God has been to us.
