Lilias Trotter's devotional meditation on the Christian meaning of surrender, death to self, spiritual fruitfulness, and new life in Christ.\u003c\/strong\u003e Drawing upon the natural world, especially the hidden life of plants, seeds, flowers, and growth, Trotter presents the cross not only as an event of redemption, but as the pattern of Christian discipleship. Her central concern is the paradox at the heart of the Gospel: life comes through death, fruit through surrender, and spiritual power through yieldedness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book reflects Trotter's distinctive combination of missionary seriousness, artistic perception, and contemplative Christian writing. Project Gutenberg classifies the work under parables and the Holy Cross, while another catalogue record identifies its subjects as parables, devotional literature, the Holy Cross, and salvation. Its prose is quiet, image-rich, and direct, using close observation of creation as a way to illuminate Christian doctrine and inward spiritual practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers of Christian devotional classics, missionary spirituality, women's religious writing, meditations on the cross, and nineteenth-century Protestant devotional literature, \u003cem\u003eParables of the Cross\u003c\/em\u003e remains a brief but searching work: gentle in manner, severe in implication, and centred on the costly transformation of the Christian life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43426616574019,"sku":"9781515425960","price":29.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/parables-of-the-cross-a-classic-christian-devotional-on-surrender-the-cross-and-new-life-hardcover","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
