DESCRIPTION:

A life of recklessness brought Star Parker face-to-face with a heavenly Father who loved her regardless of what she had done.

After Star’s first-hand experience in the grip of welfare dependency, a Christian conversion changed her life. She started a business in Los Angeles and began her activism. She began consulting with federal and state legislators on market-based strategies to fight poverty, including federal welfare reforms that passed in the mid-90s. She founded CURE in 1995 to bring new ideas to policy discussions on how to transition America’s poor from government dependency to self-sufficiency.

QUOTES:

"I knew I'd sin, but I think when it became crystal clear that I needed Christ, I had to be forgiven of something really deep was when abortion was mentioned. Because now we're talking the taking of a life and that's when I realized that I really did need to be saved, because not just saved from you know, hell, I needed to be saved for myself."

"I was out of control, sexually because I had no reason to say no, now I have reason to say no cuz the scripture says, say no. I was still living on welfare and that was just how I lived and one (1) day the preacher said what are you doing living on welfare, I thought what, how does he know I live on welfare? He said the government is not your source. Turn in your Bible and he had a stern, sure enough it said and my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. So I wrote my caseworker and told her to take my name off. God delivered me, He just really really has recovered my life that, I'm confident in that if He could do it for me, He could do it for somebody else. You know it's not just something that somebody told me. And I'm kind of making it up as I go along I can be confident in something that is eternal. His hand is a loving hand, and I just owe my life to Him."
