<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Discover the true story behind the film <i>ALL SAINTS</i>, and be inspired by one church's extraordinary response to a group of refugees in need. Pastor Michael Spurlock's first assignment is to close down the tiny church building of All Saints. But when its people begin welcoming refugees, Michael is called to discover new depths to the words <i>love your neighbor</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>The True Story Behind the Powerful Film </b><b><i>ALL SAINTS</i></b><b><br/><br/></b>Newly ordained, Michael Spurlock's first assignment is to pastor All Saints, a struggling church with twenty-five devoted members and a mortgage well beyond its means. The best option may be to close the church rather than watch it wither any further. But when All Saints hesitantly risks welcoming a community of Karen refugees from Burma--former farmers scrambling for a fresh start in America--Michael feels they may be called to an improbable new mission.<br/><br/>Michael must choose between closing the church and selling the property--or listening to a still, small voice challenging the people of All Saints to risk it all and provide much-needed hope to their new community. Together, they risk everything to plant seeds for a future that might just save them all.<br/><br/>Discover the true story that inspired the film while also diving deeper into the background of the Karen people, the church, and how a community of believers rally to reach out to those in need, yet receive far more than they dared imagine.<br/><br/>The <b>Reverend Michael Spurlock</b> served All Saints Episcopal Church in Smyrna, Tennessee, for three years.
