Over two hundred years ago slavery was a fact of life. People were bought and sold in the same way that animals were, or sacks of flour. Often a slave was treated worse than an animal, with little or no regard for life or dignity.

Slavery is still a fact of life for people today. Although slavery has been banished in America, the U.K. and other western countries, people are still bought and sold around the world.

Even in today’s liberated democracies children and young people are smuggled across borders and thrown into a life of captivity and worse. Today’s slave markets are unseen by most of the world but still destroy countless young lives.

We need to speak out again in the 21st century. Our voices need to be heard.

Catherine House introduces ten voices that spoke out for freedom. These men and women come from different times and different backgrounds but they have one voice – a Christian voice – a voice against slavery.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    "It is better to light a candle than complain of the dark". God enabled these ten to light candles in the fight against slavery. Since Catherine House endeavours to let them tell their own stories we have a variety of gripping snapshots spanning three continents and three centuries. The different stories show dealings with tribal chiefs, ship's captains, courts, parliamentarians and governments. We see that personal experiences and the biblical gospel of love and compassion have been determining factors of persuasion, perseverance and progress in the fight against slavery. Chapters end with notes of background and biblical motivation. There are discussion points, and suggestions for the reader to act in response to what has been read.
