Career
In 1924, Newhouse, along with her mother and sister, moved to Los Angeles where she soon became a guest speaker at a number of churches and lecture halls. Word soon spread of her unique gifts and her convincing sincerity as a speaker. Before long she was traveling regularly to Santa Barbara and San Francisco and much of Southern California. It was on one of these lecture engagements that she met her future husband, Lawrence Newhouse.
In 1940, Flower and Lawrence founded Questhaven Retreat and the Christward Ministry, which she bequeathed to the Lord Christ forever. Here, she wrote and lectured extensively on the Kingdom of Angels and the Wisdom Teachings that underlie "living the Life" and following the "Way". Flower died in 1994 and many Christians believe she returned to her eternal homeland, following a rich, challenging and accomplished life.
