Description: "Three hundred million - that's the number of people subjected to slavery,  sex-trafficking, discrimination, and unspeakable poverty in India. That's the same  number of people as live in the entire United States. They are the Dalit people,  the untouchables.When Matthew Cork, a California pastor, first encountered  the Dalits he was shaken to his core. He learned that Gandhi's success at bringing  about freedom did not extend to freeing the Dalits from the bondage of the Caste  system that has oppressed them for centuries. Cork was moved to commit his church  to partner with The Dalit Freedom Network to build 200 schools over ten years,  a commitment of over 20 million dollars. And they are doing it. The movement has  gained such momentum that a dramatic, feature-length film, Not Today (Nottodaythemovie.com)  is being produced and promoted by the same group that did so for Courageous,  Facing the Giants, and Fireproof.This book tells story of the  Dalit people and the rising efforts to set them free, in both soul and society.  It is a story of both brokenness and hope, of oppression and freedom. It calls the  reader to join in the movement to freedom and restoration. The Dalits need your  help. Why not start today?"--
