This book is part of the ‘Lessons from Remarkable Lives’ series which is a number of biographies of different missionary leaders.
At the end of each chapter there is a summary with key points that aims to show us in the 21st century what we can learn from those who have gone before us. Throughout this book Joanna weaves together the narrative of Amy Carmichael’s life with excerpts from her writing to tell the story of how God used her to establish and set up the Dohnavur Fellowship in India. The book tells how hundreds of children were rescued from being sold into temple prostitution and were given a home at Dohnavur. Here they were also given a family, health care and an education, and were brought up to know the true and living God.
