The ministry of Basilea Schlink has had a profound influence in the Church during the last forty years through her teaching and writing. Beginning with a handful of Christian women in Germany at the end of World War II, Mother Basilea and The Lutheran Sisterhood of Mary have declared a message of hope and healing and true commitment to Christ around the world. In this book the author presents in clear, forthright terms the biblical teaching on victory over sin. In forty-five short but dynamic chapters, she deals with specific problem areas in a Christian's life and shows the way to victory and Christlikeness. Like a butterfly escaping its cocoon, you too can escape the bondages of sin and selfishness!

Moving Devotionals That Inspire a Passionate Love for Christ What was it that gave the early Christians their dynamism? What inspired them to share their faith before kings and emporers, to brave hardship, suffering, even death, to take their message to the ends of the then-known world?—A passionate love for Jesus Christ. Two thousand years later we need this burning love at a time when the very foundations of our Christian faith are under attack. This vital love for Jesus can be ours. Every situation, every aspect of daily life, offers opportunity to draw closer to Jesus until our one desire is to give our all for Him who gave His all for us.

Her father Wilhelm Schlink was a professor of mechanics.
After finishing high school in Braunschweig and Darmstadt, she was educated (from 1923) at the Fröbelseminar in Kassel, from 1924 at the Inner missions girls" school in Berlin.
She was leader of the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary, which she cofounded, from 1947 to 2001. Basilea Schlink was a sister of Edmund Schlink, a professor in theology. In 1929 she became a teacher at the Mission House Malche in Bad Freienwalde (Oder) in German, psychology and church history.
After matriculation in 1930 she studied psychology, art history and philosophy in Berlin and Hamburg.
This study was completed by a religious-psychologic thesis about “Consciousness of Sin in adolescent girls and its significance for their battle of faith.”
Some years later Schlink was living in a badly bombed Germany with few resources, but it was important for her to repent for Germany"s cruel treatment of other nations during the war, especially the Jews. She felt the temptation to marry like other young women did.
Instead she gave her mission the first priority, and so she became a Sister of Mary. On March 30, 1947, she and Erika Madauss founded The Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary in Darmstadt.
In 1948 both the founders and the first seven sisters became nuns.
From then on, Doctor Klara Schlink called herself Mutter Basilea and Erika Madaus called herself Mutter Martyria. Today, The Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary has 11 subdivisions all over the world, with in total 209 sisters, and about 130 of these are situated in Darmstadt.
