An unsettling book. The core narrative is the story of the International Justice Missions's investigation and ensuing raid on sex trafficking brothels in Svey Pak, Cambodia, one of the largest raids in the last ten years, successfully rescuing three dozen girls (over half of which under the age of ten) from their captivity and abuse and the prosecution of their abusers. This narrative is interspersed with brief interludes recounting other investigations, rescues, and intercessions on behalf of t...more
Terrify no more was my introduction to sex trafficking. Following this, I joined with something called The Daughter Project out of Toledo, OH which helps girls rescued from the sex slave industry. This is an eye-opening book. It is a difficult read but everyone should read it anyway. Once you read it, you can no longer close your eyes and pretend this doesn't happen. Another life-changer.

God seems to really be stirring my heart regarding this.. I was thinking what can I do, and one of things this sight said to do was to get educated and read some books on the subject and this is one they recommended. I found it at the library.

This is an account of the beginning and present work of International Justice Mission. The mission's work is to rescue people who are victims of human trafficing, sex slaves or work slaves in various parts of the globe.
The theology and reasoning that motivates the workers is compelling and the stories of rescue are intriguing.
The call to action is contrasted with those who have a poverty of compassion, a poverty of passion, a poverty of hope.
The effort required for this kind of work is detailed...more

I’m glad I took the time to read this tale about modern-day sex slavery (an issue I’ve heard of over the last few years, but knew nothing about). I came away amazed by the work of International Justice Mission in liberating and caring for oppressed, enslaved young girls in Asia. The book also touches on IJM’s other work around the world—-very inspiring.
A difficult read in that it describes horrendous accounts of disgusting evil and injustice upon innocent children. Also, it read like a news article and was full of International Justice Mission propoganda. A good book though, and I would recommend it for any person interested in the issues surrounding sex trafficking, or even in Cambodia/Southeast Asia.
An eye-opening read about the depths of depravity some people stoop to as they exploit helpless and innocent children and teens. It was difficult to read, yet a book that I couldn't put down. IJM is truly an organization putting their faith in action as they attempt to give the gift of freedom to enslaved victims.
This covers examples of what International Justice Mission goes through while they try to defend God through fighting oppression and putting those who hold them in bondage to justice. There were a few various stories to show what they go through to plan helping these people, but for the most part it was about helping slave girls from even the ages of 5 years old out of forced prostitution. You get to see the courage they must have to help, and the love and dedication they have to their work. I r...more
I am traveling to Chennai, India this summer with a team from my church. This book was a part of our required reading. I'm very glad because I was able to learn a lot about an amazing organization called International Justice Mission (IJM).
IJM is God-based and focuses on rescuing those who are oppressed and need a rescuer. Much of their mission work takes place in India. Slaves, children forced into sex trafficking, and victims of abuse are some examples of people targeted by IJM for rescue.

This book is both alarming, comforting, and eye opening for those unfamiliar with child sex trade, modern-day slavery, and a host of other cases where human rights are violated.

Great book that brings a lot of reality to the tragic state of human trafficking in the world. Also chronicles the investigation of and raid of a brothel in Cambodia. Awesome stuff!

Things are happening in this world that require adventurous Christians to get up and do something about it.
This is a must read book. It's not the most easy book to read but it is worth it!
Very eye opening. Worth reading to understand the terrible world of slavery.
Fantastic Book about how the International Justice Mission got started.

anyone who thinks the atrocities of the past are of the past
Terrify No More is a terribly written book. BUT, everyone should know about what is happening to women and slaves around the world and what IJM is doing about it. This book has inspired me to try to find a way to support IJM--even with thoughts of serving in one of their field offices. As long as you're not distracted by the presentation too much, the stories are very compelling and, sadly, heartbreaking. The hope is in the number of people who are acting against evil, and perhaps this book will...more
Topic was good, writing was okay.
Really opens your eyes as to what is going on
This book haunts me.
It read too much like a news article. Great work that they're doing, but too much time spent promoting what IJM is doing.
A snapshot of one mission with the International Justice Mission. This book is focused on the sex trade dealing with minors from Asia. Following an undercover mission from start to finish, the book is tense and touching. What goes into this mission is incredible and the fact that this exists is revolting. A good book to open your eyes to what is going on currently and right in front of us, slavery, both sexual and physical, is not dead and needs to be known and dealt with.
Poorly written but an important read nonetheless. IJM is doing some great stuff. Christian Social Justice organizations always seem a little fluffly on theology to me but Haugen does not hide his evangelical faith. Amidst the somewhat randomly organized series of stories around one larger narrative, he makes some deep points about the the fallen nature of man, God's just and holy character as well as His sovereignty despite the problem of pain.
My guess is you'd only be a fan of this if you're a fan of IJM. This was a page turner, very detailed description of IJM's brothel raids in Svay Pek, Cambodia. Descriptions of obstacles of this NGO and how they biblically address them is great. (Also interesting if you're into how these organizations work).
Only thing that left me wanting: chapters on after care and the cases seemed rushed. Would have loved more follow up.

If you're looking for an intro on the amazing and important work that IJM (International Justice Mission) does around the world, this book is a quick albeit, incredibly disturbing, read.
Eyeopening and shocking accounts of the injustice in the world. It propels you to want to take action and get involved. I think that this book will serve as a catalyst for change if we who read it share the truth of what we've learned and boldly pray for opportunities to make a difference.

people wanting to leanr about human trafficking
I didn't dig the style of writing the author used, but the content was good for those wishing to get an introduction to what's happening to forgotten children and adults around the world. Slavery still exists and the people at International Justice Mission are trying to bring awareness and action to the problem. I feel like I finally got a better understanding of IJM and the people who work for them.
