not for sale

not for sale is a book by David Batstone. here is a brief run down of the book. "Award-winning journalist David Batstone reveals the story of a new generation of 21st century abolitionists and their heroic campaign to put an end to human bondage. In his accessible and inspiring book, Batstone carefully weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action." (provided by Christian audio). i highly recommend you listen to this book. though i must warn that it is not for those who are easily upset. i spend the last two days listening to it and though it has been very hard to hear (there is very graphic depictions of the acts committed to children and women as well as grown men) i have learned so much about a topic i have never even thought about. it has changed the way i think about prostitution and the sex business in general.

be warned! this is not a fun read. you will learn a lot about very very disturbing facts and personal testimony of the modern day slave trade.
