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 earlierpromise 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 yeas, the Mother of the Nile cared for thousands of desperate children, with unwavering faith that God does indeed look after the orphans.

"A wealthy Irish girl rescuing children in India? An English maid preaching the gospel in China? An American pilot serving missionaries in Ecuador? Christian Heroes" Then & Now chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory. These easy-to-read biographies are perfect for ages 10 to 100 Against great odds, American Lillian Trasher (1887-1961) founded an orphanage in Egypt that has now cared for more than 25,000 children.
