The Power of Forgiveness

Stepping out of the past

"The blade must have been a foot long. Grasping the wooden handle, my mother wielded the knife with a threatening swoosh as she hovered over our bunk beds." This are the words of our special guest this week on Renewal. Abused and neglected, Ken grew up with an alcoholic mother and nine different stepfathers. In his book, "Rescued by the Cross" Ken Freeman tells how he was rescued from hopeless circumstances to realize life in Jesus Christ and God's healing power. Today Ken offers a message of hope and direction to searching young people and those who love them.
