"Jackson's visionary account is a beautiful model of sacrificial love." -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review

The House that Love Built is the quintessential story of one woman's questioning what it means to be an American--and a Christian--in light of a broken immigration system. Through tender stories of opening her heart and home to immigrants, Sarah Jackson shines a holy light on loving our neighbor.

Sarah Jackson once thought immigration justice was administered through higher walls and longer fences. Then she met an immigrant--a deported young father separated from his US-citizen family--and everything changed. As Sarah began to know fractured families ravaged by threats in their homeland and further traumatized in US detention, biblical justice took on a new meaning.

As Sarah opened her heart--and her home--to immigrants, she experienced a surprising transformation and the gift of extraordinary community. The work she began through the ministry of Casa de Paz joined the centuries-old Christian tradition of hospitality, shining a holy light on what it means to love our neighbor.

The dilemma of undocumented people continues to hover over America, and it raises urgent questions for every Christian:

  • What is our responsibility to the "stranger" in our midst?
  • What does God's kingdom look like in the global-political reality of immigration?
  • What difference can one person make?

Sarah engages these questions through profound and tender stories, placing readers in the shoes of individuals on every side of the issue--asylum seekers torn from their families, the guards who oversee them, ordinary people with lapsed visas, the families left to survive on their own, the unheralded advocates for immigrants' rights, and the government officials who decide the fates of others.

Ultimately, Sarah's journey illuminates how hope can be restored through simple yet radical acts of love.

Not my favorite by her
Format: Paperback
I have to say that Carley Fortune can write a really beautiful love story. I enjoyed this one but not nearly as much as This Summer Will be Different. Sam is absolutely precious and his brother Charlie is trouble with a capital T but in the funniest and sweetest way (for the most part). And Percy's journey from 13 to 30 is a nice development throughout. I enjoy the multiple timelines and to see Percy and Sam's love for each other grow from meeting the summer they turn 13. This story is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. SPOILER: DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING SPOILED!!! I was ready to give this book at least a 3.5 ⭐ until the cheating with the brother. Of course it was a one time regrettable mistake, but I am auto out on a cheating trope. And making it with his brother just sets the relationship up for failure no matter how many promises of forgiveness. But that's just my opinion. So be warned.

A Revolution of Faith and Freedom
Format: Hardcover
Eric Metaxas’s Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World presents the American founding as far more than a political dispute over taxes or power—it is portrayed as an epic struggle between liberty and tyranny, virtue and corruption, good and evil. Through vivid storytelling and rich historical detail, Metaxas casts the Revolutionary era as a moral drama in which ordinary men were called to extraordinary courage against overwhelming odds in their fight for freedom. The book compellingly shows how patriots like Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, John Adams, Abigail Adams, Benjamin Rush, James Otis, Henry Knox, Paul Revere, John Hancock, Thomas Paine, George Washington, Martha Washington, and others, understood the conflict not merely as resistance to British overreach, but as a defense of God-given liberty against arbitrary, and often brutal, power. A particularly striking theme throughout the book is the Founding Fathers’ deep reliance on Divine Providence. Metaxas highlights how many believed that human rights flowed not from kings or governments, but from God Himself, and that the outcome of the Revolution ultimately rested in His hands. Prayer, biblical conviction, and appeals to Providence are woven into the narrative, reminding readers that the Founders often saw themselves as instruments in a larger story unfolding under God’s sovereign care. Indeed, Providence often revealed His hand in altering the weather and divinely guiding the patriots as they fought the British forces. The result is a sweeping and engaging account of America’s birth that frames the Revolution as both a historical and spiritual struggle, fought with courage, conviction, virtue, and faith.

A New Classic
Format: Kindle
I pre-ordered, so I was able to get the PDF and start reading early. Of all the books I own on the American Revolution, I think this one stands to become my "go to." It is encyclopedic in scope, but deftly avoids becoming a drudgery or a slog through a mire of textbook facts. Somehow, Eric has managed to include a great deal of detail without losing any of the drama. It’s the story that rises to the fore in a gripping tale that just happens to be true (and much more than that, is our heritage). All the trademark “Metaxas” hallmarks are here: judiciously placed humor and lightheartedness that never descends into silliness, seriousness that somehow never lacks in winsomeness, depth that never smothers. He manages to portray both the soberness that the subject deserves without losing the hopefulness that the story of the Revolution should inspire in us. And along the way, you’ll find yourself better understanding what “went down” and (just as importantly) what it means to you today. Excellent work. If you think another history book on the American Revolution cannot inspire you or keep your attention, this one is up to the challenge.
