| Summary |
"Parables of the Cross" by I. Lilias Trotter is a spiritual guidebook written in the early 20th century. This work explores deep theological concepts, particularly focusing on the transformative power of the cross in the Christian faith. Trotter employs metaphors and parables drawn from nature to illustrate profound lessons about life, death, and the essence of redemption, encouraging readers to embrace the call to a deeper spiritual existence. In this book, Trotter discusses the necessity of dying to self, sin, and worldly attachments in order to live a life fully surrendered to God. The themes of sacrifice and transformation are prevalent as she uses natural imagery, such as the life cycles of plants, to convey spiritual truths. She emphasizes that true life in Christ comes from embracing death in various forms—death to sin, personal desires, and even lawful indulgences—thus allowing one to experience resurrection life. Throughout her reflections, Trotter encourages believers to find joy in surrender and to recognize that through the cross, they can experience a revived, abundant life that extends its fruits to others.
