During recent chronic illness in my life, this book proved to be an invaluable resource and friend. Elisabeth Elliott uses the writings and life of Lillias Trotter as inspiration for this book. Trotter was way ahead of her time in spiritual thought and quite a courageous woman. I would highly, highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling and to those who are not.
