From time to time, we’ve run into some great books, videos, news reports or movies that have helped us have a better understanding about the experiences of our friends from other countries.  Many of their stories are truly heart wrenching.  It’s interesting to read about their journey and how they may feel as they enter into the United States or other more stable countries who are willing to offer help.  Some of the resources are those of which have helped us better understand how to serve and help but not hurt them.

The books and other resources have helped as I have maintained work on the ground and face to face with those who are poorest of the poor (and I’m not just talking about having or not having access to stuff).  My heart understands even more about the possibilities of hurting my friends instead of helping them when I think I’m actually helping them.  Asha’s Refuge has taken the thoughts and perspectives into consideration as we have progressed forward.  We will occasionally write and post our review of the book or other resource for you, but for now, we are opening up a new page to just list some of our recommendations.

(Please note:  The resources recommended on this page do not express the opinions of Asha’s Refuge in complete.  As with any resource, we are looking for better understanding and pray that the Lord will open up our eyes.  We believe that our first resource is always the Holy Bible in its entirety and our daily time in prayer connecting with God.)
