Reframing the Hyphen

Want to reevaluate your perspective on life? Want to know how your relationship with God can help you respond to injustice and hardships? In Reframing the Hyphen: A Christian Perspective on Immigrant Experiences, Christian author Ha Young Shin explains how to harness your difficulties by reassessing immigrant experiences through faith.



By sharing her own experiences as a 1.5 generation Korean-American immigrant, Shin provides her heartfelt testimony as inspiration for readers; a navigational tool to facing obstacles through faith. Through personal stories, secondhand accounts, reflection questions, and encouraging Bible verses, she demonstrates how anyone can traverse the difficulties of having a hyphenated identity. In these pages you’ll discover:

• Real and authentic stories from immigrants about their difficulties (i.e. identity crisis, cultural clashes, microaggressions, legal issues, and more)


• Examples of how you can apply the Word of God to reframe your mind around hardships


• Reflection questions to better understand your own struggles and applications to move forward

We all have obstacles that we must overcome in our lives. By relying on God and His Word, we can choose to reframe them and find peace.
