Overview

Confronting Human Trafficking in Our Midst We live in an age marked by injustice and exploitation. Human trafficking thrives in the shadows of our communities. Millions are being exploited by those who see them only as commodities to be bought and sold How can Christians respond? Authoritative and deeply compassionate, Freedom from Exploitation offers an actionable roadmap for believers in pursuit of justice and mercy. Drawing from biblical principles and contemporary examples, it urges the church to transcend complacency and embody Christ's teachings. The insights within these pages will guide Christian communities in taking up the cause for the oppressed, equipping them to make a tangible difference. Marion Carson writes with an urgency that matches the seriousness of the evil that she confronts. She gives us a crucial resource for those committed to fighting exploitation and honoring the inherent dignity of every human being. A provocative exploration, this book is more than a call to action--it's a beacon of hope and a manifesto for all who seek to live out their faith in a world crying out for justice and compassion.
