Refuse to Do Nothing: Finding Your Power to Abolish Modern-Day Slavery by Shayne Moore, Kimberly McOwen Yim

3.0

I don't want to completely dismiss this book. For some, this might be something accessible and familiar enough to spur them into action. There are great resources in the pages of Refuse to Do Nothing. Even as someone who is becoming more and more invested in this particular cause I found things I'd never heard about, books, movies, organizations, etc. That's good information to spread around.

However, the book is difficult to read if you aren't a Christian, white mother. I do hope that doesn't come across too roughly. I respect that these authors are doing something, trying to do their part, but they have presented a fairly narrow vision of things (and maybe that's their intent). For any other Christian, white mothers who want to find a cause to throw themselves behind, this could be the perfect book. For the rest of us, it's a little tough to suss the useful information out.

Despite that, any book that seeks to combat modern day slavery is worth three stars at the least. This should be the issue of our time and yet one in ten people I meet even seem to be aware of it.
