Finding your Power to Abolish Modern-Day Slavery

“Reader, you were made for this. Where you are today—your home, job, community, life—is exactly where God will use you to set captives free. In these pages Shayne Moore and Kimberly McOwen Yim invite you to join the particularly Christian work of ending human slavery. On each page you’ll be saying to yourself, ‘I can do this.’ Thanks be to God.”
