Review :
"Sam George has compiled a breathtaking array of essays on one of contemporary Christianity's most underreported stories: diaspora communities, far-flung from home but not from faith. For the communities represented in these pages, this book offers the gift of being seen. These pages breathe life into stale narratives of decline, reminding us that God is afoot. This book is hope in full bloom." --Kenda Creasy Dean, Princeton Theological Seminary "This volume offers readers a rich, panoramic picture of what God is doing in and through the South Asian diaspora movement. Skillfully, the book captures a big picture of this global people movement while not losing focus on the vivid details of varied experiences of local communities of faith. An invaluable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about today's global migration and its impact on global Christianity!" --Peter T. Cha, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School "As one who hails from South Asia, I am delighted with the impressive quality of authors encouraging and enhancing a more effective outreach toward South Asians for the Lord Jesus Christ." --Ramesh Richard, Dallas Seminary "The South Asian diaspora in remote lands and beyond vast seas is becoming ever more prevalent. This title is a timely report to the wider community of the Christian faith, which demands acts of love to meet the spiritual and social needs of these scattered peoples." --Clement Mook-Soo Chia, Singapore Bible College "A sweeping and substantive study of contemporary South Asians around the world. A wide range of scholars from multiple disciplines situated globally in diaspora has produced a dialectic and compelling narrative of lived religion arising out of numerous waves of migration from the Indian subcontinent in diverse directions over long periods of time. This informative volume deserves to be widely read." --Ram Gidoomal, International Network of South Asian Diaspora Leaders "This book is more than a portrait of contemporary South Asian diaspora. This new volume is very informative, wresting, and motivational. Other diaspora and migrants will definitely learn how to do missions to, through, and beyond their own groups." --Sadiri Joy Tira, Catalyst for Diasporas, the Lausanne Movement
