0:00.0	Consider the grand trial of trust today.
0:07.8	Welcome as we look once again into the life and message of Elizabeth Elliott, who called
0:13.6	us to live to a higher standard and not be satisfied with second best.
0:19.2	Our series continues in the coming weeks as we hear from family,
0:23.1	friends, and others who were influenced by the life and message of Elizabeth Alliot.
0:29.3	Hey, thanks for coming along. It's good to have you with us again, or for the first time. Welcome.
0:35.6	We're in the midst of a ten-part series on Francis Ridley Havergall,
0:40.5	a hymn writer, and our first program, lessons from the 1800s, and then pain in the light of
0:48.3	Calvary. We'll be hearing from Davy Blackburn, an author and speaker as he talks about Elizabeth and the
0:55.9	power of forgiveness. Elizabeth will talk about the influence on her life when she considered
1:03.0	the lives of others that she knew or read about, about the prayers of Francis three times a day
1:09.8	intentional and committed. Lessons from the 1800s.

1:40.5	but this is the memorials of her written by her sister Miriam, and it's a very old book.
1:46.2	It's literally falling apart, so I'm having trouble turning the pages as I read the quotations from the book.
1:52.1	But one of the things that I think is very important for me to do for my listeners is to read
1:56.7	from these old books that I have, from which I have learned so much myself, because obviously I have nothing original or new or innovative to tell you, I myself have been deeply fed by so many others that I'm forever quoting and referring to other people in their lives, and I have found biographies to be a wonderfully stimulating
2:19.0	encouragement to walking with the Lord. I don't know of any deeper influence in my spiritual
2:27.4	growth than the reading of Christian biographies, except, of course, the lives of people that I knew personally.
