As her family crumbles, she runs away, only to come crashing to her knees years later. Broken, alcoholic, and a single mom, she finally gets her answer through a divine appointment with Jesus Christ. Much later, Spencer would also surrender to Christ, exchanging a life of rage and violence for a transforming peace and freedom. As a young man, he lived his faith with an unusual passion and urgency that would produce an eternal harvest of changed lives beyond his death. At age twenty-one, he was the unintended target of a murder.Where is God?
