I know there are a few biographies for her. I was just wondering if you could recommend which might be the best or if they are all just as good as each other? You've done a good review on this - thanks! x:)Zoƫhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00821648803188459741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-12644772451887413392011-03-22T16:09:28.093-04:002011-03-22T16:09:28.093-04:00I just saw this on your sidebar.

But her heart for God is not surpassed by many. Funny, though I love both Elliot and Carmichael, this wasn't my favorite biography -- I liked Frank Houghton's <i>Amy Carmichael of Dohnavur much more.</i>Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-35277351267397468972009-11-19T21:49:59.649-05:002009-11-19T21:49:59.649-05:00It is certainly interesting for me to read that ar...It is certainly interesting for me to read that article.

He said she was his hero because she wanted to be born with blue eyes, and he wanted to be born with hearing. But, God used Amy's brown eyes to minister abroad as a missionary, and he knew that God would use his deafness to minister to someone too.<BR/><BR/>Blessed my heart, it did.TheNormalMiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331429075393644206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-28572197836776421252007-02-11T08:35:00.000-05:002007-02-11T08:35:00.000-05:00Carrie--thanks for the dissenting view.

(Please note: I had had this on my list of TBRs for a LONG time - being an admirer of both Elliot & Carmichael.) However, after hearing about her approval (and sometimes encouragement) of the seperation of married couples & families my opinion of her took a downward spin. I read this last year and my review of it is now archived on the Bookfest blog. <BR/><BR/>http://bookfest2006.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html<BR/><BR/>On the flip side, I think there are several aspects of Carmichael that are to be admired and imitated. "If" has been both meaningful and challenging to me. I definitely wouldn't shelve Carmichael -- Elliot just made me like her less!

Amy Carmichael was told by the missionary society that she served under to only send back 'happy stories' from the mission field. Well, for a long time there weren't any. She had been writing letters to friends back in England (I think) telling about the hardships involved in trying to minister to the people of India. (The missionary society didn't want to publish these letters.) ANYWAY, her friends convinced her to publish them; I think they actually did it for her. The book was called, The Way Things Are. Now this may not be news to you...but the cool part of my tome is this: I was in a hole-in the wall book store a couple of years ago and found a first edition copy in pristine condition! I paid $5.<BR/><BR/>Books are sooo cool!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
