Note from the Author:
I am in love with this book. (I can say that since I didn't write most of it!) It’s easy to find stories about the problem of human trafficking, stories that can get overwhelming and even discouraging. However, good things are happening, God is at work, and people are making a difference.
I wanted a book with those stories in it, the good stories of rescue and hope. Since, I couldn't find a book like that, I made one! Some of my favorite ministries contributed true stories that will motivate and inspire, encourage and bless. The book also includes spreads on each of the ministries included, with ways you can join the fight and change the world.
Amazon bestselling author of over 35 books Kimberly Rae has lived in Bangladesh, Uganda, Kosovo and Indonesia. She rafted the Nile River, hiked the hills at the base of Mount Everest, and ate cow brains, just to say she'd done it!
Rae has been published over 300 times and has work in 5 languages. Kimberly Rae’s articles have been published in BRIO, BRIO & Beyond, Proverbs 31 Woman Magazine, Mature Years, Diabetes Health, SusieMag, Women of the Harvest, Clubhouse Jr., Keys for Kids, Insight magazine, and Woman Alive, the only Christian magazine for woman in the UK. She writes regularly for Regular Baptist Press and Union Gospel Press.
Rae has been interviewed on multiple radio shows, in several newspapers, on blogs, and once on television. Since the release of her bestselling novels on human trafficking and missions (STOLEN WOMAN, STOLEN CHILD, STOLEN FUTURE), she is a requested professional speaker on human trafficking--not just the problem, but how people can be part of the solution.
Rae also has a series of books on living joyfully with chronic illness (she has Addison's disease) and new books on trafficking: For Teens: Capturing Jasmina For Adults and Teens: Captive No More Someday Dreams
Rae writes an excellent book to gain a realistic picture of those who have been enslaved. She gives an overview so we can see and feel what happens when one is totally controlled by someone who takes away every freedom. The slave traffickers use and abuse men, women, and children by the thousands. They lie to the innocent and make promises they cannot keep while the slaves are dehumanized and lose hope for any good future. The motive behind human trafficking is greed. Even the prostitution of very young girls is to gain finance for the pimps. Rae shares information on several organizations which are focused on rescuing the less fortunate. I love how the truckers are involved in this effort also. We, as Christians, need to be informed on such issues in our world, then ask God what our gifts can contribute to help those in bondage. Rae gives us some options.
This book is a collection of non-fiction short stories about people rescued from slavery. It's a great introduction to the topic--raw in its reality but sensitive in it's handling of a difficult topic. Nothing can veil the utter darkness of human trafficking, but this book combats the darkness with rays of hope. As is true for most books on the subject, Captive No More isn't written for a young audience, but it's one of the safer books I've come across for readers in their mid-teens and up.
Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down until I was done. While it's heartbreaking to read the survivor stories, it's also heartwarming to hear how each was rescued and helped. In the process of reading this book, I've discovered a couple organizations I had never heard of but have now bookmarked!
