Synopsis

Sex trafficking. We hear about it on the nightly news and in special interest stories from around the world, but it occurs daily in communities all around us. Every year, thousands of young women are forced into sexual exploitation. Most are under the age of 18. The damage this causes to their emotions and souls is immeasurable, but they are not without hope.

The White Umbrella tells stories of survivors as well as those who came alongside to help them to recovery. It describes the pain and the strength of these young women and those who held the 'white umbrella' of protection and purity over them on the road to restoration.

This book offers principles and guidance to anyone with a heart for these hurting young women and a desire to help. It is an ideal resource for individuals or organizations seeking to learn what they can do to assist these victims in becoming whole again.

Do You Know What Makes a Great Story Great?

All the best stories have a few things in common; sometimes we just have to step back from our daily routine to see them. First, we need the voice of a narrator or a storyteller. Then, add interesting characters, throw them into a risky setting, and get ready for a good dose of conflict. Give those characters a purpose or goal and then...well, then the real action begins!

When we recognize the elements of a great story, we begin to see our lives as a part of God's story. We'll better understand what He has for us, what we should believe about this story, and how we should live.

God's story is happening. We are right in the middle of a page-turner--and God is in it with us. Start seeing your life as a part of God's story and make some great adventures happen right now!
