“There aren’t many books that truly pull on my heart strings, “Out of the slave fields-liberating children from brick kilns and brothels” was one such read.
Powerfully emotional read that delves deep into the truth and the minds of those doing the rescuing.
Chapter after chapter will have you on an emotional rollercoaster as you experience the first hand accounts of these women and children and what they had to endure before men and women said ENOUGH and did everything within their means to get them out of the hell they called slavery.
One chapter was more emotional than most. Chapter 28- Yetis story (my story)
If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of the children still trapped in a life of violence and abuse. I cling to psalm 82:3-4, and know that I am doing all I can, for my actions speak louder than any voice can.
You truly can make a difference.”

Riveting and compelling...
Our "vanilla" lives dislike being confronted with the darkness that is rampant throughout the world. We tend to process people, in all cultures, through our own world view which, in turn, has been shaped through our own mostly-limited challenges of life. We observe some darkness around us, but never really "see" it and turn blind eyes and deaf ears to it. We believe that no one we know, and certainly not our own selves, would ever harm another person intentionally...so we tend to extend that self-comforting belief and apply it to all people. But such is not reality. Reality is ugly and brutal, beyond what our "vanilla" lives can even begin to comprehend from the cozy nooks of our sheltered lives. Bruce's book will rip that blinder off your eyes, and you won't like what stares back at you. But it is also vitally necessary that the darkness is exposed so that true light can bring hope and life where before existed only pain beyond our understanding. As William Wilberforce, the well-known leader against the slave trades, once declared, "You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know." This book compels the reader to keep moving forward - to feel the pain of the slaves, their bewilderment, as well as their hopelessness and despair. But the storytelling also rivets you, holds you, and brings you to rejoice in the freedom of the many, even while crying for those who remain imprisoned. May we all choose to look...and then find a place to act.
