About this ebook
Brenda Phillips is a Baby Boomer born in Toronto in 1954 when cars had wings and milk was delivered to your door in glass bottles. She lived a somewhat sheltered life in Swansea Village until her peer group changed on entering High School. At a time when America was sending young men to Viet Nam to fight a war they would ultimately lose, protesters were being shot on their own university campuses by their fellow countrymen and Hippies and Flower Children were dropping out of society to live in peaceful communities, her relentless search for the Truth took her on a quest that eventually led her to the Children of God, a radical, Christian organization she believed would not only help her to find the answers she sought, but provide an opportunity to lay down her life in service to God and humanity.

Since this is a book all about me, I feel best qualified to write it. My goal is that it will contain the truth and nothing but. As a grandmother of ten grandchildren, I felt led to bestow upon them a few words of wisdom from the vast years of my life’s experience in hopes that they may learn from some of my lessons. I am presently living in Malaysia where I teach private English classes and spend time with six of my grandchildren and my dog, Bruno.
