Mary Forsythe was a successful pharmacist who thought she had everything until she was jailed for tax fraud. The last thing she expected was to discover a more fulfilling life while in prison.
Mary Forsythe grew up in rural Kentucky where family was celebrated and life was simple. But despite her “good life,” Mary felt she was some how “different.”
“I always felt like I was odd in a bad sense. I felt like something was wrong with me,” she says. “Something was defective. Even though I went through the motions, inside I was in really pain and torment even from a young child.”
Mary says she always felt rejected even though she never understood why. So to compensate she became an overacheiver — a performer. For most of her adolescence it worked until…
“Something I never told anyone for many, many years… I was raped my second year in college.
“The rejection and the shame just began to grow in my life ‘till that’s all I knew. It affected my personality. It affected my choices. It affected my perception of almost every area of my life.”
Earlier this week I recorded a radio interview with Mary about her amazing story. You can hear our conversation by clicking the play button on the audio player at the bottom of this post.
If you want to find out more about Mary you can visit her website, Kingdom Living Ministries, or grab a copy of Her book, A Glimpse of Grace.
A Glimpse of Grace is the gripping tale of Mary Forsythe’s spiral to life’s rock bottom and the amazing account of her journey to triumph. It is a story of dreams and disappointments, of heartache and hope, of tragedy and tenderness, of loss and love.

Join her as she learned to live in the last place she thought she would ever be, as her life was completely re-directed. Discover with her the strength to survive and the grace to overcome. Find, as she did, secrets of victory and treasures in darkness. – cbn.com

The day has arrived. I’m about to lose my freedom.
As I mentioned a few days ago, this Friday, 98.5 Sonshine FM’s Tim Long and I will become ‘Convicts for a Cause’. The power to set us free is in your hands. Will you help us to be released?
