Synopsis

Amy Carmichael stood on the deck of the steamer, waving good-bye once again to her old friend Robert Wilson. How could she have known she would never see him or the British Isles again? Amy was certain God had called her to India. Indeed! India would be home for the rest of her life.

Amy's life was marked by a simple, determined obedience to God, regardless of circumstances. Her story and legacy are stunning reminders of the impact of one person who will fear God and nothing else.

Driven by love and compassion, and sustained by faith and determination, Amy Carmichael defied the cruel barriers of India's caste system. The story of this young woman from Northern Ireland is a brilliant, sparkling example of God's love generously poured out to "the least of these among us."

Not a bad little intro biography for kids. I read this to my children to help introduce them to missions which I think the book accomplishes.

Goodreads review by Alli on April 05, 2023

This was one of my favorites of the Christian Heroes stories. Some of the others were bogged down with needless details, maybe as a filler, but this biography was beautifully written and each chapter filled with rescuing love. Amy Carmichael is the Amma of anti-trafficking work and rehabilitation. I......more
