From Trafficked to Treasured by Kelly R Patterson

From Trafficked to Treasured by Kelly R Patterson

At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work. However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a yearlong voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan. Asian Journals combines the two hardcover editions of Campbell's journals, Baksheesh & Brahman and Sake & Satori, into one paperback volume, an edited day-to-day travel diary of the people he met and the historical places he visited on his trek through Asia. Along the way, he enlivens the narrative with his musings on culture, religion, myth, and politics, describing both the trivial and the sublime. As always, Campbell's keen intellect and boundless curiosity shine through in his lucid prose. From these pages, Campbell enthusiasts will come away with a deeper understanding of the man, his work, and his enduring legacy.

Kelly R Patterson is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She is also a lead pastor, speaker, consultant, and an active advocate in freeing those wounded from the effects of sexual crimes such as abuse, assault, and trafficking. While shame and pain kept her quiet for years, Kelly's journey of healing and freedom from sexual exploitation are giving her a loud voice today. Believing that unity is key, she enjoys collaborating with others to wage war against sex slavery. Having survived the unsurvivable, her skills come forth in maneuvering the difficult arena of a very painful subject matter. It is Kelly's belief that facing the truth with peace is not only possible but is something she has experiential knowledge of. Her courage to walk into a crowd and discuss the controversial is a communication gift that she excels in. Her tenacity to see others freed keeps her pushing through the most difficult of obstacles, a skill learned through climbing her way up and out of sex slavery. Kelly has travelled to hostile and distant areas to carry her message of freedom. Kelly R Patterson desires to be an aid in freeing those wounded from the effects of sexual abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. Coming from the perspective of one who has walked the long road out, Kelly has a dynamic style and ability to relate to her audience. As a speaker, she is engaging and unafraid to tell it like it is. Withholding the hard truths is not a road she has chosen to take.
