Miss Brenda's changed life and the lives who changed around her will amaze and humble you. Brenda Spahn was living life and doing well. She was married with 3 grown children, a teenager and a preschooler when her whole world turned upside down. She ran a tax prep business (with several well performing offices) with many of her family members when she was accused of tax evasion. You'll have to read her story to find out exactly what happened, but I will tell you it changed the direction of her life.
After her brush with the law she felt called to prison ministry, and she jumped right in. She started working with prisoners from a work release center. She visited, preached, and got to know the women there. They, in turn, inspired her to start a "whole way" house to help newly released prisoners return to life. Her work and the way she wrote about humanized these ex-convicts, and made me think long and hard about judgements I may have made in the past. Pick up the book, it's a groom read, and inspiring.
