This biography in fictional form portrays the life of Amy Carmichael a young woman who went to India as a missionary. After saving one little girl from temple prostitution, Amy and her collegues started orphanages to house these children. An invalid the latter part of her life, Amy continued to encourage her "kids" and collegues and many others through her books. I enjoyed reading about her life.
As a homeschooling mom, I look for good christian role models for my children. My sixth grader had to write a book report on a biography and since she wants to be a missionary, I thought Amy Carmichael would not only be a person my daughter could look up too but the story line would be something that would keep her attention. The book was so well written that after my sixth grader read it, my fourth grader wanted to read it just for fun.
Can you imagine living among the poorest of poor, the sex trafficked, and the diseased for 60 years? Amy Carmichael made a choice to serve those groups of people in Southern India. Carmichael was fighting the sex trade before the term was ever popularized. The account of her childhood, calling to ministry, physical struggles, spiritual struggles, and victories are captured within the pages of this wonderful work. A must read for those interested in capturing a glimpse into the life of the great missionary Amy Carmichael.
I have heard of Amy Carmichael, but not ever read her story. I enjoyed the reading, getting the book read in a few days.There was so much history and I loved the application of scripture. Actually it has prompted my interest to read more about the 1800 history of Egypt.
How she rescued children from a culture that didn't value them. What an inspiration. Loved her poems and the way she cared for so many children giving up her whole life to bring Christ to them and to foster love in their lives.
Although I feel like the author, Sam Wellman writes the best for Heroes of the Faith, I can't seem to get through the life of Amy Carmichael. It's very well written, and her character seems so real (as I know she was).
If you are tired of self-serving, ego centric everything read this book. If you wish you had lasting meaning in your life, read this book. If you want to know a person who purposed to become empty of self so she could enable others, read this book. And especially if you are rather self focusing and think you are not, but you still are not so happy, read read read this book.
This was a very inspiring story of a woman who gave her life completely to serving Christ and His people in India. It is well written and portrays Amy Carmichael as a very real person who experienced her share of frustration and discouragement, but through it all stayed faithful to God. I greatly admire her dedication, faithfulness, and overcoming spirit. Her work among the orphans and abused children of India is an example of what the Scripture teaches us about the meaning of true religion.
