Amy Carmichael: Beauty for Ashes

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.

Endorsement

‘Amy Carmichael receives a short but solid treatment from Iain Murray. I love the respect he has for her, even though she represents quite a different theological tradition.’
