Author Sandra Morgan awarded Wilberforce Award Human trafficking is
one of the most pressing social justice issues of our time, and in
recent years there has been renewed interest among Christians, as
many have been stirred up to take their part in the ongoing battle.
This is a wonderful thing-and yet misinformed and misguided efforts
can do more harm than good. Ending Human Trafficking is a handbook
designed to educate churches and parachurch organizations for truly
effective work. In collaboration with The Global Center for Women
and Justice at Vanguard University, Ending Human Trafficking is an
accessible and compelling resource for Christian leaders, written
by seasoned leaders in the struggle against modern slavery.
Grounded in a theological response to the issue and filled with
stories, up-to-date data, and practical tools and tips, it promises
to be an invaluable resource for years to come.
2014 Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year ("Also Recommended,"
Justice) Slavery didn't end in 1833, when William Wilberforce's
decades-long campaign finally resulted in the Slavery Abolition
Act. It didn't end in 1863, when Abraham Lincoln signed the
Emancipation Proclamation. It didn't end in 1949, when the United
Nations declared trafficking "incompatible with the dignity and
worth of the human person." The sad truth is, slavery never ended.
It just went underground, where it continues to exploit powerless
men, women and children in horrific ways throughout the world. Now
for the good news: you have power. In Refuse to Do Nothing,
"Abolitionist Mamas" Shayne Moore and Kimberly Yim share their
stories of coming to terms with the power available to them in
their normal, everyday lives to illuminate the shadows where those
who traffic in people hide compel corporations to fight slavery in
how their products are made motivate politicians to fight for human
dignity mobilize friends and strangers alike to fight slavery at
home and throughout the world Slavery doesn't end without a fight.
But get to know Shayne and Kimberly and their abolitionist friends,
and you'll find the power God grants to all who fight for the
powerless, and the joy awaiting those who refuse to do nothing.
