Description
Slavery has a long history. In the Bible, Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery, and the Israelites were slaves in Egypt until God freed them. Even much more recently, people were kidnapped and made to work.
For a while, Christians ignored that slavery was wrong and acted like enslaved people were not their neighbors. But a lot of Christians realized they were wrong, and between 1688 and 1888 AD there was a big fight to put a stop to slavery. This is the story of these Christians who loved their neighbors and how they fought to free them. This vital resource for educating young readers documents the story of how the abolition of the slave trade came about internationally, and also informs readers of facts about modern slavery.
The Who, What, Why series explores the lives, concepts, and movements that have shaped the lives of God's people throughout history.
Featuring an engaging narrative, beautiful illustrations and a timeline of key dates, this series introduces young people to big topics through simple questions.

Danika Cooley had hit the mark with this series. Slavery is an ugly topic, but the stories of the Christian responses to the evil allow hope to shine through. Readers will learn a lot of history, but more importantly they will learn what it means to put the Gospel into action. A series well worth reading.

Danika Cooley illustrates for us that the biblical truth that all human beings are made in the image of God is revolutionary. … May young people reading this book go on to be reformers in areas that need the light of God today!
