I am Not Your Slave is the shocking true story of a young African girl, Tupa, who was abducted from southwestern Africa and funneled through an extensive yet almost completely unknown human trafficking network spanning the entire African continent. As she is transported from the point of her abduction on a remote farm near the Namibian-Angolan border and channeled to her ultimate destination in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, her three-year odyssey exposes the brutal horrors of a modern day middle passage. During her ordeal, Tupa encounters members of Africa's notorious gangs, terrifying witchdoctors, mysterious middlemen from China, corrupt police and border officials, Arab smugglers and high-ranking United Nations officials. And of course, Tupa meets her fellow trafficking victims, young women and girls from around the world. Tupa's harrowing experience, including her daring escape and eventual return home, sheds light on the most shocking aspects of modern day slavery, as well as the essential determination to be free.

Poetry. Written under the spell of a medieval Welsh poetic form, the poems in Anthony Madrid's incantatory second book, TRY NEVER, each offer up their own strange world. They're full of erudition, humor, and rare magnificence. A single poem can contain "bottles and cans," Mount Everest, an upset stomach, Texas rain, a hawk, the evil queen, a "twice- mended lid," and Ralph; as if to say, anything's possible.

Mende Nazer lost her childhood at age twelve, when she was sold into slavery. It all began one horrific night in 1993, when Arab raiders swept through her Nuba village, murdering the adults and rounding up thirty-one children, including Mende. Mende was sold to a wealthy Arab family who lived in Sudan's capital city, Khartoum. So began her dark years of enslavement. Her Arab owners called her "Yebit," or "black slave." She called them "master." She was subjected to appalling physical, sexual, and mental abuse. She slept in a shed and ate the family leftovers like a dog. She had no rights, no freedom, and no life of her own. Normally, Mende's story never would have come to light. But seven years after she was seized and sold into slavery, she was sent to work for another master-a diplomat working in the United Kingdom. In London, she managed to make contact with other Sudanese, who took pity on her. In September 2000, she made a dramatic break for freedom. Slave is a story almost beyond belief. It depicts the strength and dignity of the Nuba tribe. It recounts the savage way in which the Nuba and their ancient culture are being destroyed by a secret modern-day trade in slaves. Most of all, it is a remarkable testimony to one young woman's unbreakable spirit and tremendous courage.

A COVER-UP OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS... Centuries ago, English translators perpetrated a fraud in the New Testament, and it’s been purposely hidden and covered up ever since. Your own Bible is probably included in the cover-up! In this book, which includes a study guide for personal or group use, John MacArthur unveils the essential and clarifying revelation that may be keeping you from a fulfilling—and correct—relationship with God. It’s powerful. It’s controversial. And with new eyes you’ll see the riches of your salvation in a radically new way. What does it mean to be a Christian the way Jesus defined it? MacArthur says it all boils down to one word: SLAVE “We have been bought with a price. We belong to Christ. We are His own possession.” Endorsements: "Dr. John MacArthur is never afraid to tell the truth and in this book he does just that. The Christian's great privilege is to be the slave of Christ. Dr. MacArthur makes it clear that this is one of the Bible's most succinct ways of describing our discipleship. This is a powerful exposition of Scripture, a convincing corrective to shallow Christianity, a masterful work of pastoral encouragement...a devotional classic." - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "John MacArthur expertly and lucidly explains that Jesus frees us from bondage into a royal slavery that we might be His possession. Those who would be His children must, paradoxically, be willing to be His slaves." - Dr. R.C. Sproul "Dr. John MacArthur's teaching on 'slavery' resonates in the deepest recesses of my 'inner-man.' As an African-American pastor, I have been there. That is why the thought of someone writing about slavery as being a 'God-send' was the most ludicrous, unconscionable thing that I could have ever imagined...until I read this book. Now I see that becoming a slave is a biblical command, completely redefining the idea of freedom in Christ. I don't want to simply be a 'follower' or even just a 'servant'...but a 'slave'." - The Rev. Dr. Dallas H. Wilson, Jr., Vicar, St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, SC

YOUR CLIENTS CAN LEGALLY KILL YOU... Human beings spend a vast majority of their life doing two things: sleeping and working. These two areas, if messed up in some way, won't allow you to live a good life. This book addresses the latter (and most likely, eventually, covers the first one as well). Bad clients or customers at your business can destroy not just your work life but also your personal life. That horrific client causes you massive stress and you come home and, without you even totally knowing it, you take it out on your family, friends, pets, etc. You can even develop sickness and your health can start to slip. The people around you need to be aggressively filtered and watched because the closer they are, the more they affect you (for better or worse). You have worked very hard to learn your trade or your skill-set. Why do you need to beg for clients? Why do you need to be treated poorly? Do you need them more or do they need you more? Here are the main points I want you to realize about your job or business: 1. All the "marketing" sharks floating around you and your business are looking to get paid, sneak under the radar long enough, and get out. Chances are they have no idea how to market or sell what you do. You've probably been burned before and you will get burned again. This book will prevent that. 2. Marketing and sales are considered two different subjects. THEY ARE NOT. These two subjects are married and there is actually a step that goes in-between them that has to be in. If you don't do all 3 steps, you will continue to beg for your client's money and you will be a slave. You learn about all 3 aspects in this book. 3. All the garbage you have been told about "closing techniques," sales drills, etc have always seemed wrong or strange. THEY ARE. When you are honest and create an attraction system to actually bring in the kind of people you want to work with, there are no head-games, no emotional wrestling, no painful headaches and no looking at your bank account balance in terror. This book will show you exactly how to do this and how to set it up so that your clients respect you and your time and are excited to pay you and get started. 4. Price resistance can only exist in a situation where the prospect is not enlightened. People that have doubts or insecurities complain about price. This book will help you to create trust and stability for your prospects and clients so that you do not need to handle price resistance ever again. You are a skilled technician. There are a million books out there on sales and marketing. It seems like a lot of work and you just "don't have the time" to do it. I will show you how you can actually make more money, dramatically reduce your stress and work LESS after this is all said-and-done. What is in this book applies also to staff and personnel: how to attract them and how to hire the right people. Marketing and sales, boiled down into one word, is simply ATTRACTION. If you attract the right people who are looking for what you have, there should not be much arguing or difficulty in having them around. So quit being a slave to your clients. Break your chains and regain your sanity. Regain your love for your work and allow that love to spread through your family, friends, etc. Make your work into a stronghold of your life where, no matter what else is going on, your work can be your anchor when times are tough. Work can be so wonderful that you actually feel good and refreshed after a 10-hour day. THIS IS THE WAY WORK SHOULD BE. I dumped every ounce of knowledge I have on this subject into this book. I wrote it with the purpose of delivering to you, the reader, the maximum amount of value in the minimum amount of time with the minimum amount of big words or difficult concepts. I really want you to be able to gain this information easily so that you can use it right away. I care about you. Do well.
