Twice-born Men in America or, The Psychology of Conversion as Seen by a Christian Psychologist in Rescue Mission Work

"Twice-born Men in America" by Harriet Earhart Monroe is an early 20th-century exploration of spiritual and mental renewal. With a compassionate, observant eye, the book reviews the turning points in people's lives who faced serious troubles and found change through religious commitment. The author, a Christian psychologist working directly with people in need, looks at how the process of conversion and restoration can change bad habits, wrong thinking and despair into hope. The story begins with the author's own story, describing the losses and heartache that pulled her towards working at a rescue mission - she shares a life-changing experience, and describes how a fire affected her life, and led her to make changes in the community.
