Human trafficking is the fastest growing global crime and is now the second largest after the illegal arms trade. It involves the movement of people, against their will, through violence, deception or coercion for the purpose of sex, forced labour or even body parts. Men, women and children are all victims of trafficking; although approximately 80 per cent are women and girls and up to 50 per cent are children. The book contains real-life stories, photographs, and practical action points, divided into 6 sections - Stop: The right to freedom; Look: Trafficking is on your doorstep; Think: Attitudes and awareness; Buy: The power of the consumer; Act: Join the movement; and, Start: Resources to get you started.

Focusing on the urgent issue of human trafficking, this book reveals it as a rapidly growing global crime, second only to the illegal arms trade. It highlights the plight of victims—predominantly women and children—through real-life stories and photographs. The content is organized into six sections that encourage readers to stop, look, think, buy, act, and start making a difference in the fight against trafficking, providing practical action points and resources to empower individuals to combat this crisis.

The book highlights HeartEdge, an innovative church renewal movement that emerged in response to the pandemic, founded by Samuel Wells at St Martin in the Fields. It showcases the movement's extensive outreach, including serving thousands of meals and transforming into an online hub for conferences and theological education. A key feature is Wells' monthly discussions on the Church's future with prominent leaders from the UK and the US, which have attracted large online audiences, reflecting a vibrant and adaptive approach to faith in challenging times.
