Amy Carmichael was one of the great spiritual writers of this century, possessing a breadth of vision that transcended barriers of churchmanship and of culture. From India, where she made her home, she wrote prolifically: pratical accounts of her work for children at Dohnavur alternated with books of spiritual guidance born of a life steeped in prayer and the Scriptures, and influenced by her wide-ranging reading of past Christian writers.
