Publisher's summary

"Do you mean to say you have no food for tomorrow?" the Egyptian man sputtered. "Well, yes," Lillian replied. The man exclaimed, "How awful! Will you be able to sleep tonight?" One of the orphan girls laughed out loud and said, "Why, Mama never has any food for tomorrow, and she never loses sleep over it!"

When Lillian Trasher founded Egypt's first orphanage, others thought that a lone American woman with no means of support would surely be killed or starve to death. But Lillian—certain of God's guidance—stood by her earlier promise to Him, "If ever I can do anything for You, just let me know—and I'll do it."

In the midst of poverty, war, and deadly epidemics, Lillian faced each day with a heart of trust, modeling the life she hoped her children would someday live in their own homes. During fifty tumultuous years, the Mother of the Nile cared for thousands of desperate children, with unwavering faith that God does indeed look after the orphans.

Need more!

We enjoy playing the audible version with Kindle on the TV. We hope you will continue writing & making Audible versions. When we finish & rate, it us for Kindle. I had to go back & rate all the previous ones we've done over the years. Lillian was excellent!

The most touching book I've read in years

This biography gives the true definition of what it means to be a Christian, by a life long example. Full of faith, love, meaning and purpose. The way Jesus loved the little children and provided faithfully time and again touched my heart to overflowing! Another one to read is a bio of Mary Slessor.

As always, the Benges' outdid themselves!

The story of Lillian Trasher is out of this world, because God's ways are always above the norm. From start to finish, I was mesmerized. I googled her orphanage and it's still going on, what a legacy!

Wonderful Example of a Woman of Faith

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Loved this story--Lillian lived her life completely by faith and obedience to the Lord. Her compassion and love for others was a true testimony of her genuine faith as was her life of trust.

Great way to introduce us to missionaries.

Was inspired by her great faith and how God always provided. Have listened to about 7 of these stories and love them all.
