Description

"Lilias Trotter," says J. G. S. S. Thompson in his Foreword to the 1964 Edition of Parables of the Cross, "was cast in the mold of the Christian mystic, and her Parables of the Cross is a Christian classic. Compared with the writings of Augustine and Boehme, Teresa and John of the Cross, Bunyan and Law, the 'Parables' is a slim volume, but in this realm quantity is insignificant. The qualities which make a book a classic of the soul are certainly complex but they are recognizable, and Parables of the Cross bears the authentic hallmark.

The discerning will notice that the timeless and universal quality of the appeal of the 'Parables' resides in its message, but to insist on this is not to despise the medium used to spell out that message. Lilias Trotter would have smiled whimsically at the modern preoccupation with the problems of communication. What consummate artistic skill she had. Every picture she painted for this book, with words or colors, unfolds Christ's own parable of 'the corn of wheat.' Together, her pictures form a brilliant cameo of Parables of the Cross."

You can read a brief biographical sketch of Lilias Trotter as a sample chapter from They Knew Their God, Book 1, by Edwin and Lillian Harvey

I've been wanting to buy this book for a very long time. Kingsley Press is the only place I could find an affordable version that looked good quality. I'm happy with the product and very grateful for the affordability. My only complaint is that the book doesn't last long enough, but that's just because the content is so good I want more and more of it. ;) It's pretty short. But it is so good. If you're at all interested in the parallels of life and death and how they work in our spiritual lives, and surrender before Christ and sacrifice toward others, and all the absolutely good and wholesome dying-to-self things that are life in Christ—you will like this book. You must get it and read it. I want to have tons of copies just to give people. Such helpful, beautiful-yet-practical insights on death to self and life in Christ, based on how a seed must fall and be buried before it can produce new life. (And the paintings are so well-done and good for illustrating her points.)

Also, the customer service was absolutely stellar. There was some trouble with my address because I accidentally put part of it in wrong when ordering, and the fellow who helped me out was very gracious and helpful. My order also was shipped out and came to me extremely fast. I was kind of in awe, honestly. Grateful for that and for the work you guys do with this press. Thank you!

Along, with "Parables of the Christ Life", this is a very insightful book into the Christian life. The illustrations from plant life (both the paintings and the thoughts) are beautiful. This is definitely a book to read and re-read.

This book is both wonderfully written and illustrated. If anyone ever wanted to see God's Word as He made it, I recommend reading this book. She captures well how God created things to reflect Him, His relation with us, and how we need to be towards Him. Nature is God's witness and Lillias Trotter saw it.
