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.
