NotForSaleBookNot for Sale, David Batstone
Not for Sale is an introduction to today’s world-wide slave trade. Stories are told of modern day abolitionists who, individually or in cooperation with agencies, use their influence and abilities to help free these captives. The authors come from both secular and faith-based venues and are inspired by a dedication to love and justice. Batstone urges his readers to become personally responsible by participating in the preservation of human freedom.

onthesideofangelsOn the Side of the Angels, Dr. Joseph D’Souza and Benedict Rogers
On the Side of the Angels lends a Biblical perspective to pressing human rights issues and the responsibility of Christians to affirm human dignity, human equality and human responsibility. The book’s underlying theme is that Christ calls His followers to an integrated mission of proclaiming the Good News and addressing issues of social injustice. Only by striking this balance will they be truly obeying Christ’s teachings.
