Mrs. Oswald Chambers

The Woman behind the World's Bestselling Devotional

De: Michelle Ule

Narrado por: Michelle Ule

Among Christian devotional works, My Utmost for His Highest stands head and shoulders above the rest, with more than 13 million copies sold. But most listeners have no idea that Oswald Chambers' most famous work was not published until 10 years after his death. The remarkable person behind its compilation and publication was his wife, Biddy. And her story of living her utmost for God's highest is one without parallel.

Best-selling novelist Michelle Ule brings Biddy's story to life as she traces her upbringing in Victorian England to her experiences in a WWI YMCA camp in Egypt. Listeners will marvel at this young woman's strength as she returns to post-war Britain a destitute widow with a toddler in tow. Refusing personal payment, Biddy proceeds to publish not just My Utmost for His Highest, but also 29 other books with her husband's name on the covers. All the while she raises a child alone, provides hospitality to a never-ending stream of visitors and missionaries, and nearly loses everything in the London Blitz during WWII.

The inspiring story of a devoted woman ahead of her times will quickly become a favorite of those who love true stories of overcoming incredible odds, making a life out of nothing, and serving God's kingdom.

Faith Building Life Story!

This well written biography reads nearly like a novel. God writes the greatest stories, and the author Michelle Ule did a thorough job retelling the story of Oswald Chamber’s wife. It made me want to draw closer to the Lord and trust Him to guide me and my family as He did Biddy and hers.

Excellent! Highly recommend

I will address the audio narration here. The book itself is excellent. It is very encouraging in things of the Lord. If you have been accustomed to listening to professional narrators, your first introduction to the narration of this book might be a little jarring. It is not a professional reader, which was mostly evident by the audible stops and starts. However, once you start listening to it, all of that fades, and it was never a distraction for me while listening to this book. That alone speaks volumes about the book itself. Ms. Ule’s (the author and narrator) enunciation was very clear and precise, without monotony. I greatly appreciate her making this book available in audio format. I would certainly purchase it again.

reason for the "Utmost of HIS Highest" exentence

I'm so glad I "read" this biography, it cleared up some incorrect views I held regarding Oswald. Mrs Chambers was a wonderful, godly woman!

Rich true story

Rich true story of the life of an incredible woman and her unwavering faith in God.

Oswald and Biddy Chambers

I admire greatly the dedication Oswald and Biddy Chambers had to their Lord. I am currently rereading MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. The authors writing style and reading voice often made it difficult for me to remain interested in the story.

great book, terrible reading

The book was hard to get through solely because of the challenge of listening to the reader. Book itself is great.
