Great lady. Great authors. It is one of the most touching christian books I have ever read. It's an inspiring story about how God cared for the orphaned little ones and their faithful American mama in the 20th century Egypt. English

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. Lillian Trasher: The Greatest Wonder in Egypt (Christian Heroes: Then Now)

Its amazing to read about the wonderful work God did in Egypt. Clearly written, I couldn't put the book down.
A must read. Kindle I was so impressed with this woman. The author tells her story well and allows the missionary's character to shine through the story. It is not a poetic piece, but telling the facts of her story type of book. I found it interesting and well written. Of course, Lillian Trasher's life reads like a novel anyway. Kindle As usual very well written story of an extraordinary woman. We loved the pace, adventure and inspiration that this story brings. This biography of Lillian Trasher is precious.
She gave up everything for Jesus, including a dearly beloved fiance just 10 days before the wedding, and in return, He gave her everything she needed. By trusting Him, His leading, and His provision, she was prevented from going the wrong way, given all the training, experience, and introductions necessary, and led to Assiout, Egypt.
It wasn't long before she was given a baby to care for, and she quickly found her first orphanage to rent. Soon, other children were given, and subsequently she and her children were building a new orphanage, which soon grew to 500 children, aswell as some widows.
Lillian demonstrated her love, and her love for Jesus, to her children, her neighbours, and everyone she met. She made many really good friends. Then in 1927 Jesus brought revival to the orphanage, when for 5 days, children confessed their sins and were transformed, even going into the surrounding area to take the gospel to others, where many local people became Christians.
However, in 1933, Official mistrust over Christian orphanages resulted in 70 muslem children being removed from her care: this at the time of the Great Depression, when gifting fell, and by the end of the year there were debts, no food, and Lillian was exhausted and unwell. So she prayed, and the children prayed, and emptied the larder for one last meal. After noon the next day, a miracle: $1,000 in a letter.
Another miracle during WW2, when clothes had worn out and food was almost non existent [for 900 children], and she called for 24 hours of prayer: a telegram the next morning called her to meet the Ambassador the next day in Cairo, who presented her with a rescued ship load of Red Cross clothing, bedding, and food; carriage paid!
One miracle: no cholera, despite an epidemic, and a new child brought in with it, who quickly died: but Lillian had prayed.
Another miracle: a devastating fire spreading from the boys' dormitory stopped abruptly in its tracks just as Lillian prayed.
Her message for American Conventions in 1960 was: Make a start on what God has asked you to do, and don't wait for all the pieces to fall into place first. She returned to Egypt early, in failing health, and died on 17th December 1961, aged 74, having cared for about 10,000 children and widows. She was missed terribly.
Her secret: I just stayed with the work God gave me to do. I did not quit.
She said, aged 74: My babies are not orphans to me; they are the dearest things I have in life. I pray for them and dream of them
What a remarkable example for us to follow! Kindle Lillian trasher = incredible women. A true legend of the faith. You won’t be dissatisfied with this quick and easy read. Lillian Trasher: The Greatest Wonder in Egypt (Christian Heroes: Then Now)
