The story of Lilias Trotter, founder of the Algiers Mission Band, told from her writings. Inspiring how against all odds she went to Algeria to live among Arab Muslims and live out the gospel there, all against doctor's orders! Ruskin loved her art and championed her . ( ) Read this book and really enjoyed it. It seemed a little slow at times. But I was really impressed with Ms. Trotter, she was quite amazing and accomplished a lot. It seemed to challenge me that we can do the impossible when we look to God. She walked by faith. I enjoyed her art and her background in art. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Art critic John Ruskin enthusiastically proclaimed her potential as one of the best artists of the nineteenth century, but Lilias Trotter's devotion to Christ compelled her to surrender her life of art, privilege, and leisure. Leaving the home of her wealthy parents for a humble dwelling in Algeria, Lilias defied sterotypes and taboos that should have deterred any European woman from ministering in a Muslim country. Yet she stayed for nearly forty years, befriending Algerian Muslims with her appreciation for literature and art and winning them to Christ through her life of love.
