DESCRIPTION:
Jan said For the love of God. Until a friend lent me her copy of the biographical movie, I had never heard of Lilias Trotter--her courage, her artwork, her passion for God, or her mysterious connection to John Ruskin. After I'd watched the movie several times, partly for more glimpses of the stunning watercolors in her journal, I knew I needed to get it myself for my collection. Lilias Trotter was an ordinary and yet quite remarkable woman whose self-taught adeptness at watercolor while still a teen caught John Ruskin's attention. She became his protégé, friend, and confidante. Though he wanted even more of her for himself personally and for the world ar. Funky Grandma said This is a great story about a devoted Christian Missionary. This is a great story about a devoted Christian Missionary, but it did get a little long to hold my interest to the end.. Reading This Book a Second Time Already! sayo1953 So inspiring I am reading it a second time.
North Wind Books bring to the reader a series of biographies, imaginative literature, and popular theology designed to encourage people to follow God's call to purposeful and holy living.
"I am stounded by the beautiful expression of who Lilias was and what her legacy teaches us. I couldn't put the book down, as they say, and I read it--devoured it--carefully, gladly, and with great blessing a "drop everything book"!
