Bureaucrats and Blessings: A Time-Traveling Tale of Faith and Resilience

Synopsis

In "Bureaucrats and Blessings," Awa Karsten Penn takes readers on a hilarious and heartwarming journey through time, following the misadventures of Janet Filefolder, a modern-day federal government worker who suddenly finds herself unemployed. Just when Janet thinks all hope is lost, she's mysteriously transported to various pivotal moments in history, where she encounters famous figures who've faced their own career setbacks and triumphs. As Janet bounces between eras—from Ancient Rome's collapsed job market to the Great Depression's breadlines—she learns valuable lessons about resilience, faith, and the unexpected opportunities that arise from life's challenges. With a cast of colorful characters, including a job-seeking Benjamin Franklin and a career-changing Joan of Arc, this historical fantasy offers federal workers a humorous yet poignant reminder that even in the face of bureaucratic blunders and pink slips, faith and perseverance can lead to surprising new beginnings. Penn's novel is a delightful blend of history, humor, and hope, perfect for anyone who's ever felt stuck in a dead-end job or feared the dreaded phrase "budget cuts."
