Find Hope

My corporate and political friends considered me nuts.

Bill

It would take me thirty minutes to work up the courage to say a word. I was just so inwardly petrified. I would have the bible at the corner of the East Village grill and I just couldn’t open my mouth. It was crazy.

A radical lesbian, consulting the dead—my new life moved beyond all that.

Amy M

"Suddenly I felt the real power and presence of God. It was like fire and electricity shooting through my body."

The 666 woman put a curse on my stomach.

John M.

I didn’t tell very many people about this for a long time. I didn’t want them to think I was crazy. I know I ran up on some wicked stuff that day.

Early abuse caused later fear and anger.

Jeanne

I was the sixth of seven children. I was molested from the time I was two or three years old until I was six or seven.

A spirit of death haunted me.

Dana H

I actually had a friend who referred to me as the Dark Angel of Death.

I thought fame was the answer .

Chris M

I began to fill it with my surroundings, which was women and alcohol. It wasn’t long until I found myself with a $70,000 a year cocaine addiction.

I was the watchman for athlete-cheerleader trysts.

T-Ran

I was supposed to be the watcher, “the watchman” to make sure that no one comes in so they wouldn’t get in trouble.

Held at gunpoint by a killer.

Steve and Melinda

"In the most calm voice Melinda said, “Jesus.” She wasn't even looking at us but out toward the station."

Felt the bed shaking as I cried out to God.

Richard

I knocked on the door and Satan said; “You have to sell your soul to come in here.” The ledge started moving in. So, I sold my soul

Sure, I danced with the stars.

Georgina

When God spoke to me I left my career to be a stay-at-home mom. I left all the glitz and glamour and all the supposedly wonderful things. I started completely over, but with God in my heart this time.
