\"selling.the.120x68.jpg\"<\/span>I don’t usually mention television shows, but this is one I want you to see, not because of its entertainment value, but because this is an issue Americans need to know about.<\/p>\n

The CNN Special “Selling the Girl Next Door” will discuss human trafficking and modern slavery in America. I’m closing in on releasing a book on this issue from a Christian perspective with a friend (more on that later), but simply put, Christians should at least agree the buying and selling of people is wrong.<\/p>\n

Please check it out and feel free to share feedback. It’s on this Sunday at 8pm EST (Set your DVR now!). You can also let CNN know you appreciate them taking on this topic. Thanks!<\/p>\n
