Isabella Lilias Trotter (1853-1928) was an artist and a missionary for over 38 years to the Muslims of Algeria. John Ruskin, the famous art critic, didn't believe that ladies could paint before he met Lilias, he changed his mind after he met her, and believed that if she would give her life to painting she could become the greatest painter of the nineteenth century. Ruskin believed that if she would devote herself to art "she would be the greatest living painter and do things that would be immortal. " - he was unhappy that she was spending so much time on the streets of London, helping with the YWCA when he thought she ought to be painting. Lilias, however, decided to give up her career in art in order to serve God. She always remained a good friend of Ruskin's though, and they wrote many letters when she was in Algeria. She also wrote several books - beautifully illustrated by herself, including: Parables of the Cross (1894), Parables of the Christ-Life (1899), and a book for Sufi Muslims The Way of the Sevenfold Secret.

Parables of the Christ-life is a wonderful book - short but full of wonderful analogies regarding nature and the Christan life. It requires careful reading but it is worth the effort to hear the author's heart as she weaves her observations of nature with powerful spiritual truth. She reinforces the need for all Christians to "die so that we may live" and exalts Christ to the highest place.

There was deep insight in those old words. For man's natural thought of death is that of a dreary ending in decay and dissolution. And from his standpoint he is right: death as the punishment of sin is an ending. But far other is God's thought in the redemption of the world. He takes the very thing that came in with the curse, and makes it the path of glory. Death becomes a beginning instead of an ending, for it becomes the means of liberating a fresh life. And so the hope that lies in these parable lessons of death and life is meant for those only who are turning to Him for redemption. To those who have not turned, death stands in all its old awful doom, inevitable, irrevocable. There is no gleam of light through it for them.

Independently published

Lilias Trotter's Parables of the Christ-life was first published by Marshall Brothers, London, and printed by E. Nister of Nuremberg (Bavaria). Though undated, her diaries reveal that it was conceived in 1897 while walking through the African hillsides then written at the Olivage Training Center outside Algiers during months of Saturdays in 1898. Her two parable books-Parables of the Cross and Parables of the Christ-life-written respectively in England and North Africa, compliment each other as Lilias explores faith-lessons derived from the plant life unique to each region. Though Parables of the Christ-life, like the first parable book, was popular upon publication with numerous reprintings, it had been out-of-print for decades. This singular facsimile edition is reproduced from the first edition and is faithful in both the presentation of text and colorplates.

Lilias Trotter Legacy, Inc.

I. Lilias Trotter's Parables of the Cross was first published by Marschall Brothers, London and printed by E. Nister of Nuremberg (Bavaria). While undated, the writing falls clearly within the window of summer/fall 1895 at a time when she was taking an extended break in England. Trotter's health, never robust, had been seriously compromised after seven years of unremitting labor in the testing climate of Algiers. The result was this devotional classic, born of her own spiritual struggles and tempered with her depth of life experience. It reflects Trotter's deep grounding in Scripture, and is animated by her growing sensibility to God speaking through His natural world. Though popular upon publication, with numerous reprintings, it had been out of print for decades. This facsimile edition is reproduced from the first edition and is faithful in both the presentation of text and colorplates.
