    For the love of God
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2016*

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 artistically, she fled the temptation of fame to serve her first Love, becoming a missionary to and champion of Muslim women in North Africa for 38 years. Though she didn't become famous in her time, her journals are full of the light and color of the world and people she saw and served until the end of her life.

    An indestructable life.
  

*by T***Z on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2018*

What a tragedy: this woman; truly one of the greatest of the late 19th-early 20th Centuries, is virtually unknown today! John Ruskin told the 15 year old Trotter, "You could be the greatest painter of the 19th Century!" She chose instead to spend the last 40 years of her life serving Jesus and the people of Algeria! Starting in 1888 she pioneered missionary methods that were 100 years ahead of her contemporaries. Michelle Dockery is her voice in the documentary of Trotter's life: Many Beautiful Things, which I also strongly recommend. Her artwork is displayed in a Blossom in the Desert also by Rockness.

    A Life that inspires...
  

*by R***W on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2017*

I read a quote by Lilias Trotter that led me to this book on her life. I believe that God often uses voices from the past to speak into the "now" of eternity---saints of old, whose lives and words transcend time to testify to his working throughout history. Lilias' works have followed her into the 21st century. Miriam Rockness leaves no detail out, capturing Lilias life, the day to day and the heart of her life as she followed the call of God forsaking the allure of fame. Lilias' passion for the life of God through Jesus is infectious for those willing to learn from her. Miriam's book is a treasure in that regard.
