Forgotten Girls : Stories Of Hope And Courage (Expanded)
$16.99Add to cartExpanded edition with a discussion guide to accompany each section of the book, updated statistics and a new preface.
Think of the little girls you know: your daughter, a niece, a friend’s child.
And then think about this: little girls are tossed away every day.
All over the world, women and girls face starvation, displacement, illiteracy, sexual exploitation and abuse.
In fact, statistics show that the world’s most oppressed are overwhelmingly female.
Moved by their plight, Kay Marshall Strom and Michele Rickett took a trip across continents to partner with ministries working to help females and to interview girls in some of the most difficult places in the world.
These pages hold those girls’ stories: stories of deep pain and suffering, inspiring courage, and incredible hope. They are the stories of girls who have discovered their value in God’s eyes, in the midst of cultures that have rejected them. They are stories of rescue and redemption by God working through compassionate people–people like you.
These pages might hold pieces of your story as well, as the authors invite you to pray and speak on behalf of the millions of women and girls who still need to know how much they’re worth. The authors provide specific, practical action steps and prayer points that allow you to get involved as God leads.
Our powerful God will help us as we read, speak and pray on their behalf, that the forgotten might become free.

Hope Of Shridula
$18.99Add to cartIndia: 1946. “Blessing!” Ashish murmured. “Such a name for a man cursed by a million gods!” For forty-eight years, his family toiled as slaves in the fields of the high-caste Lal family, and all because of one small debt. Ashish and his family knew nothing of the hatred for the British seething around them, nor of the struggle for independence that simmered throughout India. At fifty-four, Ashish was old and worn out. His wife had died long before-how many years, he had no idea. Even though he had four sons to work beside him in the fields, every day was a struggle to survive. Sometimes his only daughter worked, too, but she also cooked and cleaned and kept the clothes in repair. His wife had named the girl Shridula-Blessings. “Perhaps the name will bring you more fortune than it brought me,” Ashish told his daughter. His words proved to be prophetic in ways he could never have imagined. And when the flames of revolt brought independence to India, they seared change into the families of Ashish and Lal.

Faith Of Ashish
$18.99Add to cartVirat knows what he must do. With a broom fastened to his back to erase evidence of his unworthy presence and a tin cup over his mouth so his breath will not pollute the ground upon which high-caste feet trod, he tops the hill that divides his people from theirs. Beating a drum he calls out: “Untouchable coming!” Only one thing could have persuaded Virat to venture into the dangerous realm of the high-caste – his beloved son named Ashish, which means “blessing.” The child needs a doctor, so Virat needs money.
At the lavish home of Kumar Lal, the wealthy landowner who can trace his lineage back to a convert of the Apostle Thomas, Virat begs for help. He gets the loan – along with a life of slavery for himself and his family.
But Kumar Lal does not understand the strength of a father’s love…nor the loving determination of a young British nurse who cannot forget a boy named Blessing.

Once Blind : Print On Demand Title
$32.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
This biography of the writer of Amazing Grace takes us on a journey worthy of a Hollywood extravaganza with swashbuckling adventures on the high seas coupled with the horrors of the slave trade. Once Blind retells Newton’s conversion during a crushing storm no one expected to survive and then the most unusual years that followed as an evangelical clergyman with the Church of England during which he was known for his ability to bridge gaping theological chasms.
In the end, John Newton risked his reputation, his wife’s emotional well-being, even his cherished right to preach-all so that he could bear witness to the horrors he had witnessed and had participated in, and to help bring about laws that would stop the slave trade.
This is indeed a timely book as we mark the 200th anniversary of the laws that set in motion the end of 18th century slavery, for God’s grace is every bit as amazing today as it was in Newton’s era.
