Amy Carmichael: The Brown-Eyed Girl Who Learned to Pray (Do Great Things for God)
Read the true story of Amy Carmichael, a missionary who shared Christ's love with hundreds of women and children in Asia.
At a time when being a single female missionary was extremely costly, Amy Carmichael spent her life sharing Christ's love with hundreds of women and children in Asia. Along the way, she adapted to fit into cultures very different from her own, learned to depend on God in prayer, and became a mother to many children who had been sold, kidnapped, outcast or abandoned. She is a great role model for young children, and her story will enthuse them about the great things they can do for God too.
This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) features stylish illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos. It is part of a series designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Throughout my childhood, God used biographies to instill in me a desire to love and serve Christ with all my heart. Among those was the life of Amy Carmichael. I’m so grateful Hunter is sharing Amy’s story to inspire a new generation of children with this moving example of radical faith and sacrificial love.”

Author, host/teacher of Revive Our Hearts
“A small book about a big heart. Amy Carmichael’s self-giving love shines in striking contrast to our era of self-love. She served people so well because she didn’t finally live for them—she lived for God. Turn these pages with your kids and watch them glimpse what life is all about. ”

“Now more than ever, this generation needs countercultural stories about the strength that is found in dependance of God through prayer, the privilege of self-denial in serving others and the assurance in knowing that trusting God's will is always better than anything we could ever dreamt of! That is what this story is about! ”
