Embracing An Aching Heart (Paperback)

A massive underground network of slavery cloaked in darkness and drenched in despair exists in our world today. Human trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world. This modern day slavery is a global problem and the United Nations believes it has reached epidemic proportions over the past decade. The Body of Christ cannot remain silent while countless victims suffer unimaginable brutality. This compelling Bible Study will educate you on the facts of human trafficking, equip you with a Biblical perspective on how God views this criminal activity, and empower you with an understanding of how God has called His people to respond. Ideal for small group study, the seven lessons in this book will encourage personal application to conform your thought patterns, attitudes, and actions towards the oppressed in society to the teachings of Scripture.
