Be inspired by a woman
who dared to follow God.
Amy Carmichael understood true discipleship and lived it out.
At a very young age she felt called to the mission field, followed
God's guidance, and eventually went to India, where she would
spend fifty-three years without furlough. While there, Amy founded
the Dohnavur Fellowship, a refuge for children in moral danger-children
who were orphaned or unwanted and sold to the temple. Amy became
a mother for these children, and so they called her "Amma."
Even today, Amy's life of obedience and courage stands as a
model for all Christians everywhere. We resonate with her desires
and dreams, her faults and fears, her dedication and service.
For former missionary and author Elisabeth Elliot, Amy became
a role model. "She was my first spiritual mother," writes
Elliot. "She showed me the shape of godliness."
A Chance to Die is the life story of Amy Carmichael.
In this reverent biography, Elisabeth Elliot brings "Amma"
to life, providing a compelling, unforgettable narrative that
will provoke you to examine the depths of your own faith and encourage
you to reaffirm your life and commitment to Christ.
