Revised and updated, award-winning journalist David Batstone’s Not for Sale is a harrowing yet inspirational exposé of the human trafficking epidemic.
“Not for Sale breaks my heart and gives me hope; here we read how people are heroically coming forward to fight the modern scourge of slavery. God is in the freedom business—whether in ancient Egypt or modern South Africa or anywhere else there is injustice or oppression. God calls us to continue this great liberation effort, and Batstone’s book helps us do just that.” —Desmond Tutu, Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize
Millions of people around the world are subjected to engage in forced labor and sexual exploitation, enslaved by traffickers who earn more than $30 billion annually from this inhumane criminal trade. With profiles of twenty-first century abolitionists like Thailand’s Kru Nam and Peru’s Lucy Borja, David Batstone shares how people can help to stop the modern slave trade. Like Kevin Bales’ Disposable People and Ending Slavery, or E. Benjamin Skinner’s A Crime So Monstrous, Batstone’s Not for Sale is an informative and necessary manifesto for universal freedom.
“David Batstone is a heroic character.” —Bono
“Human trafficking is not an issue of the left or right, blue states or red states, but a great moral tragedy we can unite to stop . . . Not for Sale is a must-read to see how you can join the fight.” —New York Times bestselling author Jim Wallis
