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 and the 'infiltration of the world of agressive evil' is shocking. The brutality of the rape of children for profit is chronicled.

This book increases one's understanding of the helplessness of the helpless in our world.

Praise God for those called to this kind of work and for His light penetrating this world of darkness.
