Lillian Trasher: The Greatest Wonder in Egypt

De: Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

Narrado por: Rebecca Gallagher

"Do you mean to say you have no food for tomorrow?" the Egyptian man sputtered. "Well, yes," Lillian replied. The man exclaimed, "How awful! Will you be able to sleep tonight?" One of the orphan girls laughed out loud and said, "Why, Mama never has any food for tomorrow, and she never loses sleep over it!"

When Lillian Trasher founded Egypt's first orphanage, others thought that a lone American woman with no means of support would surely be killed or starve to death. But Lillian—certain of God's guidance—stood by her earlier promise to Him, "If ever I can do anything for You, just let me know—and I'll do it."

In the midst of poverty, war, and deadly epidemics, Lillian faced each day with a heart of trust, modeling the life she hoped her children would someday live in their own homes. During fifty tumultuous years, the Mother of the Nile cared for thousands of desperate children, with unwavering faith that God does indeed look after the orphans.

What an inspiration!

Lovely book and narration! Never heard of Lillian Trasher before and will now certainly never forget her!

incredible

what an inspiring and convicting story. my 11, 9 yr and I enjoyed & highly recommend. audible version is done very well.

As always, the Benges' outdid themselves!

The story of Lillian Trasher is out of this world, because God's ways are always above the norm. From start to finish, I was mesmerized. I googled her orphanage and it's still going on, what a legacy!

The most touching book I've read in years

This biography gives the true definition of what it means to be a Christian, by a life long example. Full of faith, love, meaning and purpose. The way Jesus loved the little children and provided faithfully time and again touched my heart to overflowing! Another one to read is a bio of Mary Slessor.

A beautiful testimony of a life well lived

You can't put this book down once you start reading it. This book is well written and well marrarated.
