Memoirs of Mrs. Louisa A. Lowrie

“hristian daughters and mothers crave pious examples of self-denial such as Louisa. While the heathen perish unobstructed on a path to hell, shall we sit idly by? A shot in the arm to anemic Christianity—may her ultimate sacrifice stir us and ignite a passion anew to implore God to send the gospel to the ends of the earth, and then be the answer to that prayer!”

“It was an encouragement to catch a glimpse of a woman who felt such a burden for the lost that she was willing to sacrifice all to see God’s glory known among them. Her writings tell of a woman who was refreshingly normal in her struggles. She had a high view of God and a practical view of eternity that made the bonds of this world seem light and frivolous. Though her life on the mission field was incredibly short, her writings point to a woman who longed to be used by God and consequently she pressed into hard things. My prayer is that by reading this book others may find the courage to live a life of faithfulness to God as Louisa longed to do.”
