The Woman Who Outran the Devil: The Extraordinary Story of One Woman’s Search for Real Love

Shirley Baskett’s life was a mess. Drinking heavily and partying most weekends, she moved from one unstable lesbian relationship to another in a search for permanence and fulfillment. Increasingly she found herself torn between the world of sex, violence, and alcohol, and a Christian past she had rejected but could not shake off. Contemplating suicide, she offered up one last, hopeless prayer–and it was answered. This powerful account of a life utterly changed by God will prove an encouragement to all who have lost hope.

Shirley’s story is proof positive that Jesus Christ changes lives, and has a most tender heart for the sexually and relationally broken. –Sue Bohlin Living Hope Ministries
