Why Read "God in a Brothel"?

 

Today, many people have become aware of the prevalence of sex trafficking, but few of us understand what really happens behind the closed doors of a brothel. Daniel Walker's poignant read, "God in a Brothel" digs deep into the darkness of sex trafficking, and exposes the injustice, the violence, and the trauma women and children experience around the world.

As Daniel shares his personal journey as an undercover agent, his honesty is haunting and reveals not just his passion and zeal, but also the challenges he faced in pursuing justice. 

Read Daniel's book and hear the individual stories of women and children who have survived exploitation - some of whom Hagar has had the privilege of walking with on their journey to recovery.

 

Read what Hagar staff are saying about the book:

"I am struck by Daniels honesty and openness in this harrowing account of going undercover into some of the brothels and places that trade in human misery around the world.

It is a dark world that Daniel enters with the juxtaposed purposes of rescue and capture, freedom and imprisonment. Faced with the terrible truth that many of the young women and children are forced to live their lives fulfilling the fantasies and desires of men who choose to use children and women for their own gratification he acts with courage to break the vice-like grip of traffickers and sexual predators over their prey. 

The book ends powerfully as he describes the anguish of his own life as he faces up to his own humanity.

Daniel has written a compelling account of this period of his life and in my view is to be applauded for the courageous manner in which he seeks to live out his faith and rescue women and children from the clutches of these merciless traffickers."

"This is a beautiful and haunting read. Haunting, because Daniel's story is so personal. It is raw and human and difficult. It is about confronting evil head on and not coming out of the battle unscathed. In God in a Brothel, there is no triumphalism or arrogance. In his honesty, Daniel has crafted a beautiful and redemptive account of his journey to hell and back and how he found hope, freedom and new life - for himself and so many others - along the way."

-Amie Gosselin, Hagar International
