Eddie Byun has released his next book, A Light in Darkness: The Church’s Role in Ending Human Trafficking, through Aneko Press. This is an expanded version of Justice Awakening, with new chapters stressing the importance of justice work to be grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Eddie believes it is a biblical theology and a practical theology of justice to equip the church to truly live out the gospel and be a light in the darkness.
It is clear that God is passionate about justice and righteousness in His Word and in our world. With tens of millions of people in slavery today, human trafficking is one of the darkest evils of our generation. But what can we do as believers? A Light in Darkness gives a biblical foundation for the church to understand God’s call for us to pursue justice, and provides practical steps for us to demonstrate the gospel as we shine light into these dark places.
J.I. Packer states “Worldwide human trafficking is a modern form of slavery that negates justice and neighbor-love in the worst possible way. God, give us ears to hear Eddie Byun’s word for our times.”
