The struggles of Cissie and her family are in stark contrast to the lifestyle of the local gentry. Separated from his wife, Lord Fischer lives in his stately home in comfort and opulence with a son and a daughter – neither of whom he gets on with. His daughter Isabelle hates the isolated existence in the country, while Clive lives only for painting. Catherine Cookson skillfully weaves their fortunes with those of the impoverished Brodies. It reminds us that God is making everything new,” he said, “that one day all of humanity and all of history ends up at the feet of Jesus and God’s dwelling place is with us.” The God-always-answers-prayer sophistry leaves the praying man without discipline. By the exercise of this bit of smooth casuistry he ignores the necessity to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world, and actually takes God's flat refusal to answer his prayer as the very answer itself. Of course such a man will not grow in holiness; he will never learn how to wrestle and wait; he will never know correction; he will not hear the voice of God calling him forward; he will never arrive at the place where he is morally and spiritually fit to have his prayers answered. His wrong philosophy has ruined him.”

When fifteen-year-old Cissie Brodie loses her parents to cholera, she is forced out of the family cottage and left to raise her nine brothers and sisters by herself.

Christ is now where the man’s ego was formerly. The man is now Christ-centered instead of self-centered, and he forgets himself in his delighted preoccupation with Christ.” Our value is seen in the Proverb of “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Like the Proverb, we are teaching you to fish. That way, you can learn to be resourceful, gain stability and maintain it. The other family we meet are the Fischels. They’re gentry! Also, they’re a can of nuts. Daddy Fischel’s an asshole, Clive Fischel’s a fop, and Isabelle Fischel has been driven insane by the fashions of the 1830s, one of history’s ugliest eras. Peter warming himself at the world’s fire and trying to seem unconcerned is an example of the kind of halfway discipleship too many are satisfied with. The martyr leaping up in the arena, demanding to be thrown to the lions along with his suffering brethren, is an example of the only kind of dedication that God approves”

Any objection to the carryings on of our present golden-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, "But we are winning them!" And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world's treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course the answer to all these questions is no.” Psalm 90, the only psalm attributed to Moses, is titled “A Prayer of Moses, the Man of God.” The prayer opens with these words: “Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations” (Psalm 90:1). Considering the forty years (or one third of his life) Moses spent wandering in the wilderness with no fixed dwelling place, it’s no wonder he would say, “Lord, through all the generations you have been our home!” (NLT).

Self, whether swaggering or groveling, can never be anything but hateful to God.”What Katie did ...". Newcastle Journal. 30 September 1983. p.1 . Retrieved 30 October 2018– via British Newspaper Archive. Cissie Brodie grew up on a tenant farm in 1840s England. When cholera took her parents, the fifteen-year-old girl was left caring for nine younger siblings. To keep them out of the workhouse, Cissie moves them to a cave in the fells. She makes the heartbreaking decision to send the older boys out to work in the mines. Some of her sisters worked in the homes of the wealthy. When the life of the offspring of a rich landowner intersects with Cissie's, her world undergoes another great change. Cissie is resilient and overcomes great hardships. One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.”
