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.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
