How do you stay true to God’s call for your life?
Amy Carmichael left everything to become a missionary in India. But then seven-year-old Preena, fleeing sexual slavery, threw herself on the newcomer’s protection. Could Carmichael relinquish a religious vocation to become a “nursemaid”? A picture of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet came to her mind, and “the question answered itself and was not asked again.” Joined by a growing team of Indian women, Carmichael founded Dohnavur, a community of households that has provided family for hundreds of girls who might otherwise have been sold into prostitution.
A modern-day saint, Amy Carmichael has inspired generations of missionaries and activists. The practical wisdom in these selections, taken from her many books, confirms her as a trustworthy spiritual guide for anyone honestly seeking to follow God’s path.
View Table of ContentsTHAT WAY AND NO OTHER, by Amy Carmichael, opened with surprise as Amy heard a sound at her door. Without realizing it, this started a new life for Amy. At first she was going to leave everything behind and become a missionary in India. But, once she saw little Preena, she knew things would be different. And, with the help from a team of Indian women, Amy put together a community, called Dohnavur, to help save other children from prostitution. Otherwise, they would have been sold, and who knows what might have happened to those children. As I was reading this book, I happened upon something on pages 60-61 that made me stop and think about the word (unlove.) This made me feel so sad. Because without love what are we? We would be most miserable, indeed! That took a lot of courage on Amy's part, what she did. In my opinion, when she reached out to help those children, Amy did what God wanted her to do. A wonderful read!
