In January 2007, two boys were found in the home of Michael J. Devlin, a “nice enough guy” who managed a pizza parlor in Kirkwood, Missouri. One boy had been kidnapped four days earlier. The other, Shawn Hornbeck, had been missing for four years. How and why did this fifteen-year old, whose face appeared on thousands of milk cartons and “Have You Seen Me?” posters, stay with his abductor in plain view for four years, only an hour from his family home? From award-winning journalist Kristina Sauerwein comes this riveting story of the American kidnapping that startled the nation and catapulted the chilling reality of Stockholm Syndrome into the spotlight. Shawn had many opportunities to ask for help: he was left alone in his kidnapper's apartment many times, and had phone and Internet access. But he never tried to escape. This is the first time the full story has been told, complete with interviews with law enforcement, and top psychological experts; and a real-life happy ending.

This book was written by women who have overcome horrific pasts that thrust them into a cycle of wrong choice after wrong choice. Seeking to numb their hurt and to fit in, they chose drug and alcohol addiction. But no matter how tough life becomes, there's hope - and these 19 women found it! Their stories of recovery and triumph will inspire and empower you to break invisible chains so you can discover your identity, healing and hope in Christ. The co-authors felt compelled to share their stories so others, too, could find a fresh beginning. Their book was written for those who are struggling with addiction and desperately need a way out.

You dared to love him. You saw the red flags. You felt the sting of his words and saw the anger flash in his eyes. You honestly thought things would be better once you were married. Turns out, you were wrong. That Prince Charming who swept you off your feet is now not so charming. As a matter of fact, you wonder if you made the right decision . . . but you love him. This is the way every marriage is, right? Your relationship is normal, right? For more than 1 million women in the United States, abuse—whether emotional or physical—is a way of life. Every day these women put on invisible chains. Breaking Invisible Chains, written specifically for women by women, is an honest, personal, and encouraging message of hope and illumination. Written by three survivors, the personal stories these women share will help you realize if you are in an abusive relationship or one that is just normal. A professional therapist includes insight into specific abuse situations, while each chapter contains a strong scriptural emphasis. The authors stress the role of forgiveness throughout the book, and they include realistic advice on how to handle the ongoing dynamics after the relationship ends if it turns out your relationship is not normal.

Just outside Toronto, a 14-year-old Canadian girl was auctioned on the internet for men to purchase by the hour. A young woman was taken by slave traders from an African war zone to Edmonton to earn greater profits by exploiting her in prostitution. A gang called Wolfpack recruited teenagers in Quebec and sold them for sex to high-profile men in the community. The global problem of human trafficking is only beginning to be recognized in Canada, even though it has been hidden in plain sight. In Invisible Chains, Benjamin Perrin, an award-winning law professor and policy expert, exposes cases of human trafficking, recording in-depth interviews with people on the front lines—police officers, social workers, and the victims themselves—and bringing to light government records released under access-to-information laws.

DELIVERANCE is a powerful weapon God has given His church to defeat Satan and set His people free! However, no one can live in sin and also walk in the power of God! When we accept Christ as our Savior, we become sons of God, washed clean by His blood, and when we die we go to heaven. This however, does not mean we are totally free and our problems will come to an end. We are still bound by our past; struggling with hurts, bitterness, lack of forgiveness, depression, illness, addictions, or just plain feeling defeated in life. We remain in bondage because although our spirit is born again, our soul (will, emotions and mind) and physical body need to be renewed and transformed. These are the areas that need deliverance. This manual is a comprehensive bible based study about the ministry of deliverance initiated by Jesus Christ. It includes a wide variety of related topics including: can a Christian have a demon, how demons enter, the origin of Satan and demons generational curses, soul ties, spiritual warfare, the believer's authority, ministry to children, the deliverance process and much more.
