Be inspired by a woman who dared to follow God
Amy Carmichael understood true discipleship and lived it out. At a 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 showed me the shape of godliness," writes Elliot.
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.
