Publisher's Description
“If you’re tired of living an anemic life and you want to live courageously, get this book. Terrify No More is a suspenseful read that will introduce you to the new heroes of the faith—people who are willing to take risks to bring hope and freedom to those who need it most.” — Rick Warren, Author, The Purpose Driven Life Senior Pastor, Saddleback Church “…Producer Richard Greenberg showed me some truly alarming videotape he’d obtained from a human rights group called the International Justice Mission… That tape would trigger one of the most extensive international searches I’d ever been involved with as a Dateline Correspondent.” —Chris Hansen, NBC News Correspondent “Now we have a gripping, close-up account of how IJM carries out its mission in Cambodia. Gary Haugen’s book should awaken many to what goes on in the 21st century slave trade.” — Ambassador John R. Miller, Director, Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons Out of shocking depravity emerges a story of hope. In a small village outside Phnom Penh, children as young as five are bought and sold as sex slaves. Day after day their abuse continues, and their hope slips away. In Terrify No More an international team of investigators goes undercover to infiltrate this ring of brothels and gather evidence needed to free these girls. Meanwhile, skilled legal minds race the clock, working at the highest levels of U.S. and foreign governments to bring the perpetrators to justice. Headed up by former U.N. war-crimes investigator, Gary Haugen, the team perseveres against impossible obstacles—police corruption, death threats, and mission-thwarting tip-offs—in a mission focused on bringing freedom to the victims.

“This book will shock you, upset you, inspire you, and challenge you as it tells the story of how some people of God struggle against one of the most obscene forms of oppression in the world today. The book is only a micro-picture of a macro-problem that we have tried to pretend isn’t there.”
“A shocking glimpse into the unimaginably perverse world of ‘sex tourists’ who abuse children trapped in the international sex trade. This is an important step toward unmasking and prosecuting the thousands of crimes against children committed by American citizens abroad each year. A compelling read.”
“President,World Vision U.S. For those of us who embrace the fact that the Lord’s desire and pleasure is upon those who are advocates for justice in an unjust world (Micah 6:8), this book is a must-read. As a proven practitioner in the enterprise of bringing God’s justice to the plight of the oppressed, my friend Gary writes with unusual clarity and conviction. But, reader beware, Terrify No More will relentlessly tug at your heart and show you how you too can join the growing number of followers of Christ who are taking seriously His desire to grace our treacherous world with freedom from the enslavement and bondage in which millions are hopelessly lost.”
“I have never read anything as moving and inspiring. I felt my heart racing as I was given a front row seat looking at the real heroes of our day. If these accounts of suffering and redemption do not provoke you to find your place in the fight against injustice . . . nothing will. In these pages are the wild, unpredictable, high-risk exhibits of true worship through service that the modern church, so preoccupied with safety, needs to drink in deeply. Thank you, IJM!”
“Terrify No More communicates with clarity the pain and sufering I’ve witnessed first-hand working among the poor. It is a compelling tale of lawyers and investigators using their finely honed skills to bring justice to victims of oppression. A must-read for any person who believes it’s possible to change the world.”
