I am reposting Eerdmans Blog: Eerdword. They posted this piece to celebrate #AAPIHeritageMonth, but I just noticed it now. Better to post it late than never.

In 2015, we published Grace Ji-Sun Kim’s Embracing the Other: The Transformative Spirit of Love. For today’s #ThrowbackListThursday post, we wanted to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by featuring an excerpt of Embracing the Other.
