Amy Wilson Carmichael was a Protestant Christian missionary in India, who opened an orphanage and founded a mission in Dohnavur. She served in India for 55 years without furlough and wrote many books about the missionary work there.
Terrific devotional compiled from notes Amy Carmichael wrote over several years as a missionary in India where she served orphans. The title is taken from a German translation of Job 26:14 “These are the edges of his ways”. I was so often strengthened by her entries in a year filled with trials, loss and disappointments. First published in 1955 it’s not as contemporary as other options but filled with biblical truth and encouragement that never changes.
As always, Carmichael is deeply challenging but also very grounded in normal life. I was blessed by her excitement for finding treasures in God's word.
