My name's Rachel and I'm 17. I read the book "I Lived to Tell About it" in my English class. It was the last book I had to read to pass my class and when I read on the back cover what it was about, I didn't wanna read it anymore because I completely lost my faith and I thought that God would never save me. I went back to my teacher to ask her if there was any other book that I could read but she said no. As I read the book it began to touch my heart and after I finished it, it gave me some hope that maybe God could save me. My heart still needs a lot of work, but please keep me in your prayers.

Dear Pastor Joey,
 
It really brings me hope again to know that I can be saved. I was raised in a Christian home for most of my life but it started to kinda slip away from me when my mom left my dad and my brother started doing drugs. About 3 years ago I overdosed on drugs and died in the hospital. I saw hell and realized it wasn't where I wanted to go. Threw time I forgot about God and my heart became hard, but somewhere in my heart there was still some soft spots. Your book really touched my heart and God does work in some very misterious ways. Thank you very much for putting me in your prayers.

The school I attend is Lafayette Charter High. I started going about a year ago.

Message:
I am unsure of what to write here. I was raised in Church, wanted to be a missionary when I grew up. My parents divorced and I was taken away from everything I ever knew and was thrown into the world which I knew nothing about. I went from being extremely sheltered (I couldn't watch movies, listen to the radio etc..) to going to public school and my parents where hardly around. I have tried to go back to church many times, and now at the age of 34 I am still struggling but can feel God calling me. I know he has a plan for my life. I am a single mom of a 14 year old and a 1 year old. My 1 year olds father is in Prison. He was abusive to me verbally, mentally, and was not a good person. What is strange is that he used an alias anytime he was stopped by the police. Guess what his alias was? Jose Perez.....Strange eh? My mother gave me your book at Christmas and I just read it. It has touched me in so many ways and I can not explain what I feel, but God is asking me to conta!
 ct you. I am unsure why but I can not get it out of my head. I am unclear as what I am to say or do. I live about 45 minutes outside Philadelphia. I am wondering if your church is still up and running? I hope to hear from you. Your Sister in Christ, Jennifer Munson
