"Graphic and telling representations of God's work.

Evesham, Worcestershire, England; d. St. Leonard's on Sea, England. Beginning when only fourteen years of age, she wrote on Christian themes, publishing over twenty books. She became famous both in Great Britain and the United States for her evangelical writings, with leading preachers such as D. L. Moody sometimes quoting from them. She "occupies a niche all her own; for while all her chapters could be described as sermons, they are unique sermons, after the order of those of Frances Ridley Havergal. They are gems; and no single reading can reveal their many and varied excellences." - Quoted in Thomas Y. Crowell publisher's advert in The Dial (March, 1888). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 12047
