Description
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 show more 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.". show lessTags

This was an excellent book about a remarkable woman, Amy Carmichael. She devoted her whole life to Jesus Christ. Sharing His love with everyone, especially the unlovable. It was enlightening to read about all the obstacles she encountered from everywhere she went, including Ireland, England, Japan, and India. She never let the system get in her way of sharing the love of Christ with the people she came into contact with.
