Description
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, kidnaped, outcast, or abandoned.
Her inspiring resolve to follow Christ and her sincere commitment to his word make her a great role model for young children and will enthuse them about the great things they can do for God too.
This beautiful hardback book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos. It makes a beautiful gift for children aged 4-7.
Worksheets are available to help children interact with the biography. Can also be used for Homeschool Co-ops. Part of the Do Great Things for God series. By exploring the lives of inspiring Christian women, this series will enthuse children about the great things they can do for God.
