Readers will marvel at this young woman's strength as she returns to post-war Britain a destitute widow with a toddler in tow. Refusing personal payment, Biddy proceeds to publish not just <i>My Utmost for His Highest</i>, but also 29 other books with her husband's name on the covers. All the while she raises a child alone, provides hospitality to a never-ending stream of visitors and missionaries, and nearly loses everything in the London Blitz during WWII.<br/><br/>The inspiring story of a devoted woman ahead of her times will quickly become a favorite of those who love true stories of overcoming incredible odds, making a life out of nothing, and serving God's kingdom.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>"A deeply engaging and luminous introduction to the life and love story of a remarkable woman."</b>--<b>Robin Jones Gunn</b>, bestselling author <br/><br/>Among Christian devotional works, <i>My Utmost for His Highest</i> stands head and shoulders above the rest, with more than 13 million copies sold.
