註釋
Slavery was dealt a blow two hundred years ago, but it has recovered well, and now human trafficking thrives as it exploits asylum-seekers and feeds the booming sex industry and the constant demand for cheap labour. So the battle continues. But we are half-way to winning that battle by being aware. This book will help all those who want to pray, lobby, or act with intelligence and effectiveness. Part One (Now) includes contributions from key campaigners, both secular and Christian, on the situation around the world today. Part Two (Then) by Danny Smith provides the background history, with some fascinating new revelations on transatlantic slavery. Features and Benefits Major feature film releases March (on abolition) by producers of Narnia film on life of Wilberforce (called Amazing Grace) and starring Ioan Gruffudd (who played Hornblower) and Albert Finney as Newton. National and international events for 2007 bicentenary of abolition, plus BBC radio and TV documentaries. The list of contributors reads like a Who's Who in this field
