The Way of the Seven Fold Secret by Lilias Trotter
Lilias Trotter moved from England to Algiers in 1888, at the age of 35, and died there in 1928. In the latter stages of her mission there, she wrote specifically for Muslims influenced by mysticism. Lilias based The Way of the Sevenfold Secret on Christ's seven 'I am' sayings in John's gospel, and attempted to link them to the traditional seven steps taken by members of Sufi orders in their quest for union with God. This republication should enable readers to capture the essence of a woman whose legacy is vitally alive for our times

THE WONDERFUL REVEALING.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> beginning was <strong>the</strong> Word, and<br />
<strong>the</strong> Word was with God, and <strong>the</strong> Word was<br />
God: <strong>the</strong>_ same was in <strong>the</strong> beginning with<br />
God. All things were made <strong>by</strong> Him, and<br />
without Him was not anything made that<br />
was made. In Him was Life and <strong>the</strong> life<br />
was <strong>the</strong> Light <strong>of</strong> men. That was <strong>the</strong> true<br />
Light, that lighteth every man that<br />
cometh into <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> Life was manifested, and we<br />
have seen it, and bear witness, and shew<br />
unto you that Eternal Life.<br />
That which we bave seen and heard<br />
declare we unto you, that ye alpo may<br />
have fellowship with us.<br />
