Miss Brenda and the Lovelady Movement - by Lovelady Spahn & Jeanne Sparks Dean

Book Synopsis

Believe in second chances! Discover the remarkable movement behind America's largest Christian transitional facility for women and children.

Brenda Lovelady Spahn's success story is one fraught with challenges. Her journey began with a legal battle with the IRS. Turning the experience into a defining moment that would allow her to redefine her priorities and purpose, Spahn, against all odds, pioneered a residential rehabilitation program for women which she would grow into the nation's largest Christ-centered transitional facility for women and children.

Despite skepticism and uncertainty, Spahn sought to provide a refuge for a group of women newly released from prison, but thanks to a deep sense of purpose and divine intervention, she was able to welcome a larger group of women deemed hopeless by society. In the face of immense challenges, Spahn remained steadfast in her mission, and it paid off.

Recounting both the trials and triumphs she experienced along the way, Spahn relates the many miraculous transformations she and her dedicated staff witnessed over the years. United in love and compassion, The Lovelady Center embodies the promise of hope and healing for all who dare to believe. The uplifting follow-up to Miss Brenda and the Loveladies, the book serves a blueprint for social and prison reform and will speak to anyone looking to make a difference in the lives of others.
