The faith of a women shining the power of trusting in the ONE TRUE GOD! There is nothing more to say about this women’s faith that brought her many ways to serve the Lord with gladness. The Lord is good and faithful to those who give up the chance to love for themselves and choose the chance to die for the One true GOD.
I loved Amy Carmichael’s story! I knew she was from Ireland, but hearing the different little tidbits of her early life—first, the family went from a life of upper-class richness to being too poor to go to finishing school. Then she had a call to do work for the Lord, and began working with the “shawlies”—young women who worked long hours in the factories. Later, she went for a brief stint of missionary work in Japan, and then became too sick to continue there. After that, she had to return to England to help an old friend, and had to recuperate from sickness herself. I never realized before how much sickness hindered her work—but despite that disability, she had an amazing drive and a beautiful vision to bless all those she met with Jesus’ love.
There was a lot about her early life in this book, which I enjoyed immensely—often, we tend to hear the most about her time in India, and little about the rest of her life. I hadn’t realized before that she spent a while working in Japan before eventually being called to India, so that—along with the legacy she led and left behind her—was very encouraging for me. Highly recommend this biography.

Great read, a story of a beautiful faith-filled life
I've wanted to read this book for a long time now and finally have. It's a beautiful story of a faith-filled life! Oh that we would have more Amy Carmichael in the world today! I recommend this book for anyone but particularly for young people.

This book is a wonderful, well written introductory overview to the life of Amy Carmichael. I am so enjoying this series (which is suitable for all ages, in my opinion) and can’t wait to read more books by the authors. 3.75 stars.

We read this one aloud as a family and enjoyed learning more about Amy and her work. It was written in a way that kept all of our attention and left us wanting to keep reading at the end of each chapter. A great biography for elementary and young adult readers.
