"...a timely epistle to the American church."
“Masterfully integrating biblical analysis and his captivating personal story, Joshua Sherif’s The Stranger at Our Shore reads like a timely epistle to the American church…”
-Matthew Soerens, World Relief, US Director of Church Mobilization and Advocacy
​
The Stranger at Our Shore is a must-read. Both by his miraculous testimony and his years spent pastoring a church speaking 20+ languages in one of America's most diverse neighborhoods, Joshua Sherif is the right person to grow the Church on this topic.
