"Good News About Injustice" by Gary Haugen

 

"Terrify no More" by Gary Haugen
This gripping book documents the events leading up to, and surrounding, IJM’s raids in the notorious Cambodian village of Svay Pak where their workers rescued 37 underage victims of sex-trafficking, many of them under the age of 10.

The following books are not available from IJM UK directly.

"A Biblical View of Law and Justice" by David McIlroy
The Bible is not written as a handbook for lawyers, politicians and civil servants setting out a theology of human law. Its concern is the dealings of God with human beings and of human beings with God. What then does the Bible have to say about human laws and legal systems? Looking back to the Old Testament, to the Mosaic Law, the biblical model of kingship and the prophetic call to justice, barrister David McIlroy presents a Christian perspective on the biblical view of law and justice. He also examines the claims and teachings of Christ as King, specifically contrasting these with Caesar, a king of the world. The book then concludes with a reflection on the place of human laws in the light of the Last Judgment. A Biblical View of Law and Justice seeks to wrestle with the biblical message of justice, giving Christian lawyers, civil servants, and politicians a renewed vision and understanding of the potential of their work in the post-Christendom world.

"Not for Sale" by David Batstone
IJM’s anti-slavery efforts are featured in the new book by David Batstone,  Not for Sale  (HarperCollins, San Francisco), and in an upcoming documentary of the same name. The book is an official book of the Amazing Change campaign. Both pieces feature interviews with Gary Haugen and other modern-day abolitionists who provide modern examples of how ordinary citizens accomplish extraordinary acts of bravery to fight slavery.
