Amy Carmichael: The Brown-Eyed Girl Who Learned to Pray (Inspiring illustrated children's biography of Christian female missionary in Asia. Beautiful ... gift for kids 4-7) (Do Great Things for God)

Share the joy of spreading Christ's love with courage and humility. Kids will be inspired as they read the true story of Amy Carmichael.

At a time when being a single female missionary was extremely costly, she 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, kidnapped, outcast or abandoned.

This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) features stylish illustrations and extra facts in the back. It is part of the Do Great Things for God series, which is designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

As humans, we are born to crave heroes, role models to which we can aspire. From the media to magazines to movies, we are assaulted with examples to emulate. But spiritual heroines can prove more difficult to discover. You never know what’s in a person until you tip them over and see what spills out. The Goodbook for Children’s Do Great Things for God series is an invitation to a literary tea party of godly women! Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) embodied 1 Corinthians 13:13, “The greatest of these is love.” Each charmingly illustrated mini-biography includes a photograph, memory verse, timeline, map, discussion questions, and interactive worksheet pages for use at home or classroom, and each heroine reminds readers of all ages that God makes a way for those He calls. This collection of small books with big hearts is the perfect way to bring the Hebrews 11 “hall of faith” to your bookshelf.
