Slave

By: Jabali Smith

Narrated by: Doug Greene

Jabali Smith was a six-year-old in Berkeley, California, when he was trafficked along with his sister over the border into Mexico and held captive by a messianic doomsday sex cult. Slave courageously and boldly chronicles his journey as a child slave - the escape and eventual rise from the ashes of tragedy. A story of unimaginable suffering followed by the discovery of success, love, compassion, and forgiveness.

Jabali spent years being beaten, tortured, starved, sexualized, brainwashed, and confined to a dark closet in both Mexico and the United States. His disappearance and re-emergence years later with no alarms set off within our societal system represents the current fracture of communication allowing human trafficking to flourish into the fastest growing business and commodity in the world.

Instead of remaining bitter, Jabali became a devoted, loving father and founder of The Well Child Foundation, serving children and their need for empowerment in a way that he never experienced as a child. Slave exposes not only the suffering of human trafficking victims but the indomitable spirit of survivors and all that is possible when faith survives the ultimate challenge.

slave

was a well illustrated, it bring alot of facts to light about abuse and trafficking of our children, I feel it's a strong message and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about abuse in our world.

great reminder of the human experience

What I loved the most about this book was the brutal honesty of the gentleman the book was about when he wrote about himself and all his past. His healing has helped me heal aand forgive some of my past abuse. I found myself in his shoes very often throughout the book and found it very enlightening how he forgave his captors and abusers and made a wonderful life for himself.

Amazing!

Courageous, magnificent achievement! Jabali Smith is a modern day hero! I can’t praise him enough!

Well written & heartbreaking

The story was written well & I could so empathize. Amazing to me that so many can be conned by these cult leaders. The narrator however was so difficult to listen to. Voice and style was just not a good match for this book! Distracted me at times and took away from content. Sorry, just my opinion.

Reading this book is a spiritual experience.

This book has everything, a heart wrenching story with a spiritual awakening, and a happy ending. It blew my mind that he had the exact same psychic dream I did about a plane crash and we both saw it the next day on TV. It was exact. I wonder what that means.
