News from Coffee Creek Correctional Facility Angela shares how she found Hope in one of the darkest times of her life while serving a 46 month prsion sentence! ONLY GOD! - WOW! Genesis 50:20 “What the enemy meant for evil God turned it around for my good” Just 3 months before Angela's release from prison God arranged for her to be at the right place at the right time in the prison chapel where she found Rachelle’s book Beyond Hope on a bottom shelf! God's providence for sure! He showed her His unconditional love and His forgiveness! AND she began to HOPE again! Read Angela's testimony below I spent 46 months in prison. I felt so very lost. I love to read and refused to buy a tv. In the minimum prison there is no library. I’d read a book a day. Every self-help and nonfiction I could get my hands on. I heard there were books in the chapel. I was not about to go to the chapel. No way, it’s not my thing. 2 years later I had to go there to deliver a message. I did check out books about Buddhism, L.D.S, and Scientology etc. I read them all. But had a friend return them because I just didn't want to go back to the chapel. It’s hard to explain but 3 months before my release something led me to the chapel. Something in me felt different, I walked in to the chapel and I felt light and a sense of awe, I walked in and something directed me to the bottom shelf. I saw Rachelle’s book Beyond Hope and the name Benthin and began to cry. It’s really hard for me to be emotional. I'm very strong. I know many of the Benthin's personally and felt an immediate connection. Reading her book, I felt hope and a future for the first time in many, many years. I was enlightened. My darkness escaped. Rachelle was a huge sinner and so was I. I felt forgiven! After reading her book, I wrote her she responded. I asked for more Beyond Hope books to pass out to all the ladies on my unit where I was housed in the prison and she sent them. I received letters and cards weekly. I had never ever, ever felt the Holy Spirit before, it was amazing. A felt a sense of awe. I am forgiven and I felt peace then. I had a VERY strong resistance to GOD for many reasons and He understands. No more uneasiness. Her book changed my life. I look forward to hugging her in person. Sincerely, Angela
