Lottie Moon (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025811895)

"Lottie Moon" by Una Roberts Lawrence provides an intimate and comprehensive look into the life and enduring legacy of one of the most influential figures in Christian missionary history. Charlotte Digges "Lottie" Moon dedicated nearly forty years of her life to service in China, becoming a symbol of selfless devotion and a primary catalyst for the modern missions movement.

Through this compelling biography, readers explore Moon's journey from her upbringing in Virginia to her transformative work in the Shantung province. The narrative details her tireless efforts to share her faith, her deep identification with the Chinese people, and her advocacy for women's education and ministerial support. Her letters and reports back to the United States sparked a monumental shift in how congregations engaged with international outreach, eventually leading to the establishment of the annual Christmas offering that now bears her name.

This account serves as both a historical record and an inspirational portrait of a woman who defied contemporary expectations to follow a calling that changed the landscape of global missions forever. It remains an essential read for those interested in religious history, the role of women in the church, and the cultural intersections of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
