Susie Flashman Jarvis
From Page Three Model to Loving Mother, Wife, and Daughter of God
Susie's journey is a tale of two lives, woven into one extraordinary woman. Her image graced the pages of magazines and TV screens; she was the face of Debeers, and Avon, and was a thriving editorial model, presenting a glamorous facade to the world. Yet, behind closed doors, amidst the turmoil of unfulfilling relationships, addiction caught up with her.
Enter God—a transformative force. In the arms of a loving Father, Susie found the guidance and support she needed to embark on a path of healing and reconciliation. This is a story of divine intervention where joys and sorrows are infused with a higher purpose.
Once exposed to shame and temptation, Susie's life is now an open book, a testament to the love of God. Prepare to be moved by a narrative that is both heart-wrenching and uplifting, a testament to the power of faith and redemption.
Now, Susie is an author, accredited coach, mentor, and counsellor working with leaders and individuals.
“Thank you so much for coming up last week – It was such a great time of being inspired and filled with faith for all that God can do in the lives of women”

POTHOLES AND BELLY-FLOPS
Page Three model, serially unfaithful, heroin addict. Loving mother, honourable wife, daughter of God. Two lives. One woman. One God. Susie was a rising star of the modelling world. Her image graced TV screens, billboards and magazine covers across the globe. But she was a private failure, addicted to Class A drugs and promiscuously jumping from one broken relationship to another. Then God... A life transformed; a loving Father nurturing and disciplining a wilful, frightened daughter towards healing and reconciliation. A story of God invading the everyday joys and pains of family life. Once a body exposed to shame and lust. Now a life laid bare to tell of the Father's love. 'Joyous and heart-breaking. Shocking but inspirational. The ruthlessly honest, movingly written, self-penned story of Susie, our lifelong friend, and her journey of struggle, redemption and hope.' Steve Chalke, MBE Oasis UK, and Cornelia Chalke 'This is a real story of a real woman with real issues arising from a wounded inner child, but one who is determined to hold on to the Lord and face the issues, one by one, with courage and dedication.' Jennifer Rees Larcombe, Beauty from Ashes 'You will hear elsewhere many tales of a radical change, but this one is told from the hindsight of several decades and offers hope and encouragement to readers who will persevere as she has done.' Anne Coles, New Wine.
