CHICAGO, Jan. 7, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Children who have been abused, those living in poverty, foster kids aging out of a broken system, and those who don't have enough to eat are easy targets for those who wish to misuse them. You want to help, but you don't know where to begin. What can one person possibly do that will make a difference?

You can't do everything, but you can do something! And you'll find that "something" in the pages of Make it Zero: The Movement to Safeguard Every Child (Moody Publishers).

When each one of us begins to take action, it really adds up, author Mary Frances Bowley explains.

"Each of us is only one person, but one person determined to act is powerful. Moments can multiply into movements and create groundswells of change," says the author and founder of Wellspring Living (www.wellspringliving.org), an Atlanta-based haven and home for women and girls who have been trafficked for sex.

A rallying call for readers to unite and reduce the number of at-risk children to ZERO, Make It Zero reveals the opportunity behind a single moment of compassion. Contained within its pages are stories of many "ones" … ones who, learning of a need, reacted and stepped up—often joining other "ones" to make a difference in the lives of countless individuals.

Candid and compelling, Make It Zero demonstrates the power each of us has to change lives, communities, even the world. Moreover, it helps put intention into action by providing tools that will help each of us to do what we can, where we are, with what we have … right now.

The author concludes: "You never know how one spark of kindness can shape the future."

All profits from the book will go to help Wellspring Living serve more survivors of trafficking.
