Parables of the Cross

2024 Reprint Illustrated in Full Color. This facsimile edition is reproduced from the first edition and is faithful in both the presentation of text and color plates. For purposes of presentation we have reformatted this title from a small oblong book to a standard size octavo. This has resulted in a reformatting of the pagination, while still maintaining the original pagination as two pages into one.

I. Lilias Trotter's Parables of the Cross was first published by Marshall Brothers, London. 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.
