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. | 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. | Amy Carmichael has been one of my heroes of the faith since I first read her biography in college.

In its pages, your child will learn about the humble life and service of the historic missionary, Amy Carmichael, and will learn that God gives each us everything we need in order to follow his call on our lives. This book will capture their hearts and minds with the mission of God in the world! | This is such an inspiring and engaging book! As kids learn about Amy Carmichael's life, they will see the amazing things God can do when we are faithful to follow him. | 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! | Hunter Beless is the Founder and Host of the Journeywomen Podcast, and the author of Read It, See It, Say It, Sing It.
