Voices against Slavery is a compact paperback aimed at the teenage reader. It contains accounts of ten Christians who have made significant contributions to ending slavery.
The bulk of each chapter is a fast-moving narrative of the individual’s life, and tacked on the end of each account is a short biographical summary followed by a ‘Fact File’, which gives the broader historical context. Sections entitled ‘Faith in Action’ and ‘Make your Voice heard’ then challenge the reader to apply lessons from the past to the world today and the reader’s own life.
