Parables of the Christ-Life, Paperback/I. Lilias Trotter

Descriere

Parables of the Christ-life is a wonderful book - short but full of wonderful analogies regarding nature and the Christan life. It requires careful reading but it is worth the effort to hear the author's heart as she weaves her observations of nature with powerful spiritual truth. She reinforces the need for all Christians to "die so that we may live" and exalts Christ to the highest place. About the Author: Isabella Lilias Trotter (1853-1928) was an artist and a Christian missionary for over 38 years to the Muslims of Algeria. She wrote several books illustrated by herself, including Parables of the Cross, Parables of the Christ Life, and a book for Sufi Muslims The Way of the Sevenfold Secret. First published in a periodical, and later as a booklet, "Focussed" inspired Helen Lemmel to write of the now famous hymn "The Heavenly Vision" (often referred to by the first line of its refrain, "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus").
