The New Odyssey: The Story of the Twenty-First Century Refugee Crisis | 
pickI‘m almost finished with this powerful and important book about the story of refugees migrating from Syria, Eritrea, and other besieged homelands, to Europe — who they are, why they are fleeing their homes and countries, and how they are getting to Europe. If you want to better understand the people behind the headlines of this modern refugee crisis, this really is a must read.
pickNo matter your opinion on the refugee crisis I feel this book is important for everyone to read!!!
pickThis is too important not to read.
This is an incredibly well-written book about a vital subject. While I wish the author spent more time speaking to the women on this journey (I imagine their experience, especially those traveling alone or with children, was very different from the many men the he wrote about) this book is a compelling and empathetic introduction to a crisis that has no end in sight.
I picked this up several weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to read it yet. I'm looking forward to making some good progress with it his weekend.
pickLoved this! With personal stories, interviews and actually traveling with refugees, the author explores our current crisis and calls for us to do better.
Nothing by or about MLK but I feel this book continues on in the same spirit. Exposing great human suffering and asking the reader to see the humanity in all people. And the obligation we all have to love and care for our fellow humans, no matter their skin colour, religion, social background and so on. We are all in this together, we are all human and we all deserve love and kindness.

pickThis book is a must-read for everyone! We will all be affected by the refugee crisis one way or another and it's so important to know the story of why and how they fled their country. A very #inspiring book. It made me even more willing to help these people when I can. And made me aware of the unspeakable things they had to endure. It's a book about the entire journey, including smuggers, rescue teams and several refugee stories. #photoadaynov16
#bookmail is the best mail! Can't wait to dive into Kingsley's book. He made a journey through Europe and the Middle East to document the stories of refugees. I always feel it's important to know more about current events. And for a healthy dosage of escapism to keep me sane: The Time Traveler's Wife. I #blamelitlsy for this buy 😉
