Mabel Ninan’s beautifully-written Far From Home serves as a guide to rediscovering our core identity in Christ. It’s a message the church desperately needs.

Mabel gives us her vibrant, challenging, and uplifting personal journey as an immigrant in a foreign land. This book will enlighten the Christian of their personal identity in Christ, and show that our true home resides with our Father in heaven. Far from Home is a great companion for someone who seeks to love their immigrant friends well and challenges us to hold onto our differences loosely, while uniting around our oneness in Christ.

Dr. Bryan Loritts, Author of Insider/Outsider.

In this world divided by labels, ever-changing opinions, and a belief that truth is relative, Ninan offers the hope of belonging, unity that celebrates diversity, and love that remains rooted in God’s infallible and unchanging truth, as revealed through the Bible. After savoring the last chapter in Far from Home, Ninan’s opening declaration, “I am an immigrant,” becomes a watchword for fellow believers committed to living for and loving like Jesus.

By sensitively sharing her heart about her identity struggles as an immigrant, Mabel does more than draw out our empathy. She sets us up to understand our own immigrant status as Christians on this planet. As her introduction suggests, the book indeed helps readers “lean into your identity as a citizen of heaven.” Come away from this amazing work with your priorities in their proper place, knowing more assuredly than ever that heaven is your real home.

Far from Home is for every person that’s longed to put down roots. Through the author’s immigrant journey, we learn to make our home with God wherever we happen to live. Far from Home refreshes my soul and encourages me to look heavenward and embrace my true identity in Christ.

Let Mabel guide you to and from India and America, as well as deep into Scripture alongside those who walked as immigrants before us. As you do, I suspect you will embark on your own journey deep into your own heart and faith. Jesus has become everything to her, and she humbly role-models how He can become everything to us too.

An inspiring read, especially to those far away from home, and those experiencing homelessness physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Additionally, a timely yet timeless reminder to the body of the Christ, that our Lord was Himself an immigrant, and expects us to demonstrate His love to any around us who find themselves far from home.

Beautifully transparent, Mabel Ninan shares her personal insight from a unique experience of immigration. Yet the revelation of her modern history, is also a reflection of Biblical history when God moves. Inside the stories of uprooted people, we discover the heart of God. This book is a beautiful reminder of our citizenship in His kingdom.

In Far From Home Mabel Ninan uses her own story as a foreigner in many unfamiliar places to remind all of us who feel “stuck between two worlds” that our citizenship and identity are not ultimately rooted in a place, but in a person. Saturated with biblical truth, I was encouraged, convicted, and reminded through her longing for home, that I too am longing for home. As we seek a city that is to come, we will all feel homesick, but Mabel reminds us that God is at work in us and through us wherever we are.
