About this listen
Among Christian devotional works, My Utmost for His Highest stands head and shoulders above the rest, with more than 13 million copies sold. But most listeners have no idea that Oswald Chambers' most famous work was not published until 10 years after his death. The remarkable person behind its compilation and publication was his wife, Biddy. And her story of living her utmost for God's highest is one without parallel.
Best-selling novelist Michelle Ule brings Biddy's story to life as she traces her upbringing in Victorian England to her experiences in a WWI YMCA camp in Egypt. Listeners 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 My Utmost for His Highest, 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.
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.

Story
Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband, Jim, and his four colleagues. Incredibly, prayerfully, Elisabeth took her toddler daughter, snakebite kit, Bible, and journal...and lived in the jungle with the stone-age people who killed her husband. In this authorized biography, Ellen Vaughn uses Elisabeth’s private, unpublished journals, and candid interviews with her family and friends, to paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history.

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Modern women - who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history - need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way - whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun - Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

Faith Building Life Story!
This well written biography reads nearly like a novel. God writes the greatest stories, and the author Michelle Ule did a thorough job retelling the story of Oswald Chamber’s wife. It made me want to draw closer to the Lord and trust Him to guide me and my family as He did Biddy and hers.

Excellent! Highly recommend
I will address the audio narration here. The book itself is excellent. It is very encouraging in things of the Lord. If you have been accustomed to listening to professional narrators, your first introduction to the narration of this book might be a little jarring. It is not a professional reader, which was mostly evident by the audible stops and starts. However, once you start listening to it, all of that fades, and it was never a distraction for me while listening to this book. That alone speaks volumes about the book itself. Ms. Ule’s (the author and narrator) enunciation was very clear and precise, without monotony. I greatly appreciate her making this book available in audio format. I would certainly purchase it again.

I admire greatly the dedication Oswald and Biddy Chambers had to their Lord. I am currently rereading MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. The authors writing style and reading voice often made it difficult for me to remain interested in the story.
