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 the poor, downtrodden, and oppressed, mostly girls and children. Some are child labor problems, others the driving of widows out of their houses, rape, kidnapping, and human trafficking. These are people who risk their lives to obey God and "set the captives free." The largest flaw with the book isn't the book itself, but rather the methodology of IJM. Haugan is a shill for the UN, and they work primarily through NGOs and governmental sanctions rather than equipping local churches to be the ones helping and doing the spadework. But this is the fault of the worldwide church and not really IJMs. The Church just isn't in a place yet where it is equipped to do that sort of thing yet - though we are slowly making progress in places. In the meantime, I am grateful to organizations like IJM for what they do. Ultimately taking kids out of these places is a holding action. Communities like Svay Pak must be transformed by Christ if sex and human trafficking are to be reduced or eliminated in any sort of meaningful way. Overall, while the prose wasn't amazing, and the chapters were incredibly short (there are 60 chapters in 245 pages, each chapter averaging three pages long), it's a great narrative. The descriptions of the reactions of the children when they realize these people aren't there to do horrible things to them is just incredible. Within hours they lose the dead-eyed look of hopelessness and the light creeps back in. If you want to be disquieted, this is the book to read. It is frank at times, but not explicit or graphic.

The stories in the Arabian Nights have gripped the world’s imagination now for more than 1000 years. From at least the 9th century part of the repertoire of storytellers in India, China, Iran, Turkey and the Arab world. It delves in most cultural elements hugely various like lands it come from. It further supports information which gives a bird’s-eye-view of the cultural resource developing from early times up to the present; and devotes itself primarily on the cultural implications it has given across cultures and linguistic boundaries through time.

I'm a stranger to the Wardens series, but very glad I picked up this book. I didn't feel as though I were missing too much information without reading the first series, although there were a few characters in the beginning I was unfamiliar with. I thought Cassiel's characterization, as a once-mighty djinn now busted down to mere human, was really well done and very convincing, and by the end of the book I was very eager to move on to the second. A great start to what I hope will be a good series!

This book sucked until the last ten pages. I couldn't pay attention most of the time and the descriptions of plants just bored me I guess. The last ten pages were edge of your seat pages.

I just really like her books. I don't know why. Maybe because they are so full of hope. Here are these characters that have gone through so much, and yet everything turns out OK for them in the end. It give the read hope.

I bought this book after reading Huston Smith's Why Religion Matters. I was less impressed by this book than than Why Religion Matters, but that may have just been because I read it first and it was just so spectacularly amazing. This was a more dense read. I had to read slowly, especially in part 1; parts 2 and 3 lightened up considerably. I have learned quite a bit about Christianity from this book. It is a good, level-headed report that doesn't shrink from controversy, but rather reports it even-handedly where it matters and ignores it where it doesn't. I heartily endorse it. It is Mere Christianity for the 21st century, I'd say.

The horror genre is not one I visit too often. This book made me sleep with the light on! The horror is not from the explanation of horrible things - and there are such descriptions. The author leaves just enough to the imagination to make certain aspects of this book truly terrifying. Nothing is scarier than the depths our own minds will sink too, if someone is clever enough to open the right doors. Mr. Kilborn opens some doors. An excellent debut. If you love this genre you'll love this book.

The author was my professor in the J-School at U of O, so I must read this one. :-)
