¿Una acaudalada muchacha irlandesa rescata niños en India? ¿Una criada predica el evangelio en China? ¿Un piloto estadounidense sirve a misioneros en Ecuador?Héroes cristianos de ayer y de hoy relata las emocionantes y conmovedoras historias de hombres y mujeres comunes cuya confianza en Dios realizó hazañas extraordinarias en su Reino y para su Gloria."Quiere decir que no tienen alimento para mañana?", farfulló el varón egipcio. "Así es", repuso Lillian. "Qué terrible!", exclamó él. "¿Podrá dormir esta noche?" Una de las niñas mayores que oyóla conversación se echó a reír y dijo: "Bueno, Mamá nunca tiene comida para mañana y no por eso pierde el sueño". Cuando Lillian Trasher fundó el primer orfanato de Egipto, algunos pensaron que una mujer estadounidense sola, sin recursos ni apoyo económico, con seguridad sería asesinada, o se moriría de hambre. Pero Lillian - segura de la guía divina - fue fiel a su temprana promesa de Dios: "Si puedo hacer algo por ti, házmelo saber, y lo haré". En medio de situaciones de pobreza, guerras y epidemias letales, Lillian afrontó cada día con un corazón confiado, ejemplificando la vida que ella esperaba que un día vivieran sus hijos en sus hogares. Durante cincuenta años de avatares, la madre del Nilo cuidó miles de niños necesitados, con una fe inquebrantable en el Dios que ciertamente se preocupa de los huérfanos (1887-1961).

After submitting her sketches to the art editor, who assured her there was a very good chance landing her dream job she left to return the next day. Through a series of events that were most unusual she was not hired. Seeing God’s hand in this disappointment, she headed for Faith Orphanage. There she served tirelessly not knowing God was teaching her many lessons and preparing her for His plan.
After 5 years she felt the Lord’s calling to the mission field, in Africa. Having no money and no church to support her was not a deterrent to this faith-filled woman. She trusted God and He furnished all her needs in incredible ways. It wasn’t long after she arrived at the mission house in Egypt; a dying baby was given to her. She was given the choice by the leaders of the mission house to return the baby (whose mother had died) or leave. This is when she learned there were no orphanages in Egypt and the baby would be thrown into the Nile.
With no money and no support once again, she left with the infant. You have to realize this country was a dangerous place for a woman alone. She didn’t even know the language! Once again she trusted God and as always He provided. This was just the beginning of His amazing care and provision for Lillian and the orphanage she established. She had many setbacks and serious problems throughout the years: no food, catastrophes, illness, no clothing for the children. Every time God was faithful to furnish whatever was needed. At the time of her death, she had lovingly cared for 10,000 children and widows. None of which could have been done without her obedience, faith and trust in God. This is an incredible story! Lillian reminded me of a cross between George Muller and Gladys Aylward!
I love Christian biographies. Learning about men and women who have given their lives to serve God is inspiring to me. Although this book is for readers 8 to 12 years of age, I encourage adults to read it too!
