A fascinating, yet deeply spiritual recollection of the life of a pastor’s wife during the first half of the twentieth century. The scenes behind the joys and sorrows bring vividly to life the sacrifices Elsie Dawson made in the service of her God over many years during the long pastorate of her husband Herbert Dawson at Union Chapel Bethersden, Kent. His own writings, also included, combine to make this a powerful memory of God’s goodness and a deep source of encouragement to all who, under the constrainings of the love of Christ, take up a cross for His sake.
