Sharon James' biography of Elizabeth Prentiss is a worthwhile read if you would like to learn from the life of a woman who was always striving to love God more. Elizabeth Prentiss suffered many hardships, including the deaths of children. In the midst of these events, she strove to give more of herself over to God. This biography would be of particular value to women, as Elizabeth is an example of a dedicated wife, mother, homemaker, Bible study leader and hostess. However, men would also benefit from exploring with Elizabeth how to love God with increasing fervour.
I've enjoyed over the years reading biographies of godly Christians from the past. Funny you would post on this one now; I'm currently on chapter five of the same book and appreciate seeing Elizabeth's dedication to the Lord, her husband, and children in the midst of all the suffering she went through.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm hoping to read more biographies now that I'm not blogging as much. I'd better make the most of my time before bub arrives!
