The Other Face of God: When the Stranger Calls Us HomeMary Jo Leddy has written a challenging book which is based in her more than twenty years of experience living and working with refugees in Romero House in Toronto. The stories of the refugees provide the starting points for pointed reflections on the neighbor, the other. How can we be liberated from imperial self, that sees everything centered on me? How can we face the empire we live in? The place is direct knowing of people at the borders, the margins. In this way we may glimpse "the other face of God."Mary Jo Leddy enriches her stories with insights culled from a wide variety of philosophers, theologians, and others such as Hannah Arendt, Miroslav Volf, Wendell Berry, Emmanuel Levinas, and Thomas Merton.The book is challenging for North Americans and rightfully so.One of the most important books I've read in a while.
Good book. Mary Jo Eddy draws from her experiences with immigrants and those who encounter them to ponder faith and our society.
