Book Review of Amy Carmichael: For the Children of India (Heroes of the Faith)

Amy Carmichael: For the Children of India (Heroes of the Faith)


I really feel inspired by Amy Carmichael and her willing Spirit and her devotion to Christ so early on in life. The fact that she allowed Him to guide her is quite wonderful. I don't think this book explained as much, but I am sure reading some of her 30 books would be more helpful. She constantly gave glory to Christ, and for that I adore her. Through Christ she helped people in Ireland, Scotland, and England who were looked down upon. She went to Japan and was willing to be among the people as the missionaries disagreed with her. She went to India and established orphanages and a hospital to care for young children who were to be abandoned, abused, or sold as temple prostitutes or sacrifices. How amazing. The book was a little slow and not too interesting but the subject matter was interesting.
