Riassunto

“Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.”
 
Despite a lifetime battling chronic pain, English poet and hymnwriter Francis Ridley Havergal (1836–1879) reveled in a life consecrated and surrendered to her Master. In this book, she gives the reader a glimpse of the reflections, at the same time personal and theological, behind her well-known worship classic, “Take My Life and Let It Be.”

Although written more than one hundred years ago, her words are still relevant for today because Christ’s call for complete devotion—of hands, feet, voice, mind, emotions, and livelihood—remains unchanged. Perfect as an inspirational study or for personal devotions, Kept for the Master’s Use is an emboldening call to live a life fully dedicated to Christ.

Informazioni sull'autore

Francis Ridley Havergal (1836–1879) was born in Worcestershire, England, the daughter of a rector of the Anglican Church who was also an adept musician. Francis was already reading the Bible by age four, and was soon studying French and music as well. She was confirmed at Worcester Cathedral as a young adult, and from then on consecrated her life to Christ, following both a rigorous personal devotional life and an active participation in her church. A prolific songwriter who gained some renown, she donated the money from the sale of her poems and hymns to charitable institutions both in England and elsewhere. She never married and died at the age of forty-three.
