    About this series

    Confronting Human Trafficking in Our Midst 


    We live in an age marked by injustice and exploitation. Human trafficking thrives in the shadows of our communities. Millions are being exploited by those who see them only as commodities to be bought and sold How can Christians respond? 


    Authoritative and deeply compassionate, Freedom from Exploitation offers an actionable roadmap for believers in pursuit of justice and mercy. Drawing from biblical principles and contemporary examples, it urges the church to transcend complacency and embody Christ’s teachings. The insights within these pages will guide Christian communities in taking up the cause for the oppressed, equipping them to make a tangible difference. 


    Marion Carson writes with an urgency that matches the seriousness of the evil that she confronts. She gives us a crucial resource for those committed to fighting exploitation and honoring the inherent dignity of every human being. A provocative exploration, this book is more than a call to action—it's a beacon of hope and a manifesto for all who seek to live out their faith in a world crying out for justice and compassion.

      With climate change and the environment making headlines on an almost-daily basis, followers of Christ can find themselves asking, “What’s my role in this? What’s my responsibility? And how does it relate to the Great Commission?” People, Trees & Poverty shares a high-level overview, a snapshot, of what it looks like to reach the unreached through advocacy on environmental issues. However, this book does more than raise awareness and pluck your heartstrings. It concludes with a critical feature, listing additional resources, gatherings, and organizations to move the reader from concern to action. Ebooks in the Snapshot Series aren’t traditional books. They are the one chapter that you need to read out of the huge book you never seem to get through. At approximately 7000 words they are twice the length of an in-depth magazine article. They are packed with links to resources for further inquiry in a Wikipedia style manner, and an appendix with vetted partners you can trust to read or connect with.

      For most believers, several factors influence their missions call. Some are called to stay in their hometown and support missions at their local church, others are called to short-term mission trips, while others are called to spend a lifetime overseas as career missionaries. This SNAPSHOT book will highlight three things that can help you discover the adventure God has for you in his mission: prayer and Bible study, missionary mentorship, and short-term mission trips. If you need to understand your call or if you know someone who does, get them to walk with David through "It's Your Call: To a Missional or Missionary Life".

      How to Win Victory against the Enemy     The world we live in comprises two different levels of reality—the material world and the unseen spiritual world. In that unseen world a great battle is being waged between the forces of God and the forces of evil ruled by Satan. Spiritual warfare is happening all around us; however, many Christians do not realize that fact or know how to stand strong in the presence of evil and defeat these spiritual enemies in daily life.      Effective Spiritual Warfare describes the tactics evil forces use to keep Christians from fulfilling God’s plans for them personally and globally. Then the book concentrates primarily on eight ways to overcome Satan in our lives. These principles are truly life transforming, thoroughly biblical, and consistently validated throughout Christian history.        Applying these principles in Jesus’s name will offer readers new opportunities to participate in God’s victories as well as God’s ultimate Victory in Christ.
