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

In this thoughtful study a veteran psychology professor brings her scholarly lens to the bustling world of early‑twentieth‑century rescue missions, exploring what truly happens when a soul is “born again.” Drawing on vivid episodes from a mission’s cramped dormitories, daily meals, and earnest prayers, she illustrates how sudden, profound change can lift a weary mind out of despair and into purposeful hope.

Beyond anecdote, the author weaves careful analysis of the mental and moral shifts that accompany regeneration, offering practical observations for lay teachers and clergy alike. Her language remains grounded, inviting listeners to consider how the same spiritual principles that guided her own recovery after personal tragedy might still spark transformation today.
