Amy Carmichael

Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) was a missionary and author who spent over fifty years of her life , without returning home , serving mainly low caste girls and boys in South India. Iain Murray's concise biography provides an enlightening and moving account of her remarkable life and love for her Saviour, as well as perceptively drawing lessons from it.‘This is a love story of the noblest kind. It is an enriching consideration of a woman's relentless love for her Saviour, her Bible, her friends, and most uniquely, her love for lost, suffering and desperate sinners - to whom she gave her life. Such devotion as hers seems so distant. Reading this brief history will confront and help to close that distance.' — JOHN MACARTHUR‘Iain Murray has written a superb account of this remarkable woman's life . . . He has read her books and her poetry, and what he writes reveals a keen understanding of the motives and undertakings of an extraordinary woman. It warmed my heart and informed my mind . . . I cannot too enthusiastically recommend this book. — IAN S. BARTER
