Really enjoyed this biography. I thought it was very objective and portrayed Amy in her true light, for better or for worse. The faithfulness she displayed throughout her time in India is inspiring; one quote of hers that will stick with me for a while:
“Faithfulness in little things is a very great thing.”
“Faithfulness in little things is a very great thing.”

wow this book makes me want to be more mindful when i am prone to complain about being tired!! i was encouraged by amy carmichael’s writing ministry after her accident. also appreciated how murray included some of carmichael’s short comings (i.e. temper, pride, etc.). the writing in some chapters near the end were kinda clunky? weird
“to will what God wills brings peace”

First book of 2023! 2.5 stars- I love reading about the life of Amy Carmichael, but honestly not the biggest fan of this biography. I feel like the author missed a lot of relevant details. Read Elisabeth Elliot’s “A chance to die” instead!!

Love the story of Amy Carmichael, but this was pretty choppy. Elisabeth Elliott's biography of Amy was recommended -- I will probably read that one in the near future.

Super cool biography of a missionary. My favorite parts was the poems she wrote that started every chapter. Also this book emphasized the importance of Scripture and doctrine in missions and evangelism.

January 18, 2023Read for my personal devotion class. Encouraging/convicting read. Amy Carmichael left her home in England to be a missionary in India. She spent the rest of her 51 years in the country serving the lowest castes. Crazy to think that she never returned to England.

Amy Carmichael is truly an inspiration for how to wholeheartedly do ministry and love others well! Not only did this book help me to fall back in love with my own ministry with kids, but it showed me how fruitful it can be, when lead by Jesus!!

A short book on the life of an incredible woman of faith. If you want to know a bit of Amy Carmichael’s story without reading a huge biography, this is a good starter!
January 19, 2023
Book was fact heavy, but gave a cool look at how she got to where she ended up and the impact she made! Cool to see how her legacy has left it’s mark even now, and how it will continue to do so. Loved her poems & what they highlighted!

This is the second biography of Amy Carmichael that I've read (the first one was "A Chance to Die", by Elisabeth Elliot). Both are very good.
This biography was a shorter book. Easy to read, and it flowed quickly. It was difficult to put down, and I finished it in 4 days. I will go back and read this to my children. Iain Murray does a respectful job of presenting Amy's life and ministry. I recommend it heartily!

Another biography that's a success by Tozer's criteria that a book of this sort should work "to turn his eyes towards God and to urge him forward".
A beautiful example of sacrificial service and love that can only flow from an understanding that "our pools would soon be empty if it were not for that great, glorious sea of love". Next to her selflessness is her steadfast faithfulness to the authority of scripture and refusal to compromise despite external pressure. Murray highlights these godly attributes but avoids hero worship by acknowledging occasions when scripture was displaced from its context and so encourages discernment in how we read her work.
Really enjoyed reading some of the poems and hymns she wrote.
(only 3 stars because deep down I know I wanted to read the biography Elizabeth Eliott wrote... but satisfied myself with this freebie)

Another favorite author writes another Amy Carmichael biography? Well, this one is quite short, and really lovely. I can see how it meets a need, despite all the other biographies out there already, by being extra brief, yet as packed as possible with the fervency of her devoted life - including lots of bits of her poetry. I read it in one day.
It also has an extra special spot in my heart as it was published a few years after I had met the author, at the church mentioned in the preface, one evening, and had judged from his shy brevity toward a starry-eyed reformed fan-girl, that he didn't have much opinion of women. Of course, I was wrong. (Never judge an elderly bookish Scotsman by his lack of verbosity). His appreciation of one of my most beloved woman-heroes was heart-warming.

What an incredible life! This is not a book I would usually pick up to read but I have definitely learnt a lot from the life of Amy Carmichael. Her faith in God and adoration of him were inspiring. However, this book also presented a challenge to be living with that same whole-hearted trust in God's power, control, and love. Further, this biography was really convicting in terms of mission. It showed that we are called to be on mission for God with nothing in our hands because he will provide all our needs. By sticking to this belief Amy Carmichael was able to change the lives of so many people in India. However, she was adamant that this wasn't an extraordinary feat - it was God working in ordinary people and ordinary tasks. That is a message every Christian needs to hear.

this was a good intro to Amy Carmichael and will keep me satisfied until I feel like reading a longer one. I tried Elisabeth Elliot's, but it was too dense for me. maybe if I find an audiobook sometime.
one thing I really loved about Amy was the absolute love she surrounded her children and workers with. The strength of her vision and convictions had her turning some helpers away who would have been a bad fit for her group. Because she was able to do this, I believe it kept her mission going much longer and more harmonious than it could have been.

I loved this book from the beginning until the end. What a remarkable life of love. God used her in incredible ways to save young girls and boys out of a life of suffering. She had courage, faith, and perseverance throughout her lifetime as she grew in trust of a loving Savior and helped proclaim the good news to others as well. What an incredible leader she must have been. God truly equipped her and lead her to serve him well.
I am reminded as to how our short lives will end but there is great power in written words, especially in the word that God helps us write. Words can live on and influence others after one's life is over. May I choose my words wisely. May I have wisdom daily in using my time to work for God and not just myself.
So many good quotes are compiled in this book. Here are some of my favorite quotes...
“Gone, they tell me, is youth,
Gone is the strength of my life,
Nothing remains but decline,
Nothing but age and decay.
Not so, I’m God’s little child,
Only beginning to live;
Coming the days of my prime,
Coming the strength of my life,
Coming the vision of God,
Coming my bloom and my power.[55]
A.C. 1935”
“Though it be true
Who loveth suffereth too,
Do not love’s tender, joyful gains
Far more than balance all life’s pains?
We know they do."
“Writing is torn from a person,’ it has been said. ‘If you are going to say something worthwhile, you’re going to burn.’ Amy’s thirty-five books, born of prayer, are..."
Let nothing be said about anyone unless it passes through the three sieves: Is it true? kind? necessary?
““Faithfulness in little things is a very great thing’; ‘
Never about to, always to do.
Joy is not gush. Joy is not holiness. Joy is perfect acquiescence in God's will.
“A hint she gave to a would-be author reflected her own care: ‘Words should be like colours, each one supplying a dot of colour supplying a need, not one over.’ This is not to say that her style appeals to every Christian, and her use of imagination may at times be overdone. There is poetry and art in her language yet, as Houghton says, ‘the very quality which lifted and inspired so many made her seem obscure to others’.
* * *”
“Amy’s room in her last years must not be thought of simply as a place of pain and shadows. There were many times of laughter. Once when a helper of forty years earlier came to visit, she acted the Amy she had seen her then, shaking her head, brushing back a wisp of hair with her hand, and questioning”
“We won’t meet again in this world. When you hear I have gone, jump for joy.’ One of her last dictated letters included the words, ‘I am very happy and content. Green pastures are before me, and my Saviour has my treasure—the DF.”
“She was’, as one remembered her, ‘happy hearted, never gloomy, lively in worship, festive in rejoicing. She wanted joy, triumph, tambourines, even after burial.”
“Before ‘the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy’, He loved me, and ‘chose me as His own’. Therefore today every spiritual blessing may be truly mine—the ninefold fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience towards others, kindness, goodness (that sweetness of heart that was Christ’s), good faith, meekness, self-restraint—so that in the pressure of life I need not fail. And all this is ‘to the praise of the glory of His grace’.[86]”
“To pray in a hurry of spirit means nothing. ... There is nothing creative in noise. To live in a hurry means to do much but effect little."
“The strength of the emphasis in Amy Carmichael’s life and writing lies in God’s love to us in Christ. The more we know of his love, the less we shall think about self at all.” *
*I testify this less thinking about oneself to be true...and I am still learning! Lisa Davis 7/12/25
“Nothing is sweeter than love; nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing broader, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller or better in heaven and in earth; for love is born of God, and can rest only in God above all."
“Lord, do Thou turn me all into love, and all my love into obedience, and let my obedience be without interruption.”
“ Numbers who took her books up only out of interest, put them down to pray.”

Amy is so awesome!! I love her philosophy on educating children. “Just as Amy wanted her girls dressed in bright colors (especially blue!), she wanted them to see Christianity as the source of a truly happy life.” I want to be like Amy when I grow up :,)))) I feel like I always being giving books 5 stars I don’t know how to rate books

June 11, 2024A solid, short treatment of Amy Carmichael’s life. It left me wanting to read something more detailed. Iain Murray did a good job telling major parts of her story and many of the challenges she faced along the way. I’m grateful for missionary biographies like this one that stir the imagination and soul. I found it interesting (but not surprising) Carmichael loved missionary biographies herself.
December 11, 2017
An excellent, succinct introduction to Amy Carmichael and her work in India as well as some basic information on her beliefs. It is really an introduction though and other works should be consulted for any kind of details.
February 2, 2025
Just the right number of details, words from Amy Carmichael. Very readable. Appreciated the assessment of her work and life at the end. Much better than Elisabeth Elliot's biography of Amy Carmichael.

Amy Carmichael is a saint. Her life is a testimony to God’s sustaining grace.
October 23, 2020
Short but so good. My book is full of underlines, stars, and notes. What a blessing to read.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone who hungers after a radical life for Jesus, and is encouraged by those who have gone before.
After reading larger biographies on AC, this little, barely 200 page, book seems to whizz through Amy’s life like a whirlwind. However, while the book doesn’t focus as much on the events of Amy’s life, the author focuses on the tenor of Amy’s life. Rich with quotations from Amy’s printed and unprinted works and letters, Beauty for Ashes left me challenged and encouraged.

Are you looking for a Christian biography for the whole family? Here is one on a fine Christian lady that will appeal to everyone in your house. In addition to enjoying it myself, this volume will find use in our home school. Though the ladies might especially enjoy it, I will assure the men out there that this book and Amy Carmichael’s life will be a challenge to your own spiritual life.
Though the book is written where teenagers could easily read it, there is nothing fluffy about it. Prolific biographer, Iain Murray, whose books have been enjoyable to me on several occasions, distills her life for the greatest spiritual effect. Plus you get a real glimpse of who she is as a person. He tells what a wonderful impact Tomas Walker, the missionary she worked with, had on her life.
Amy Carmichael’s life, admittedly, makes a biographer’s task easy. She went just to be a help to a mission work and the Lord just opened a children’s ministry up to her. Not a typical ministry, however, as she was rescuing little girls from a life of forced temple prostitution and one of rescuing the lives of children who had no future in the harsh caste system in India.
Mr. Murray, in the last part of the book, examined her life critically because the two popular biographies wrote of her without one critical comment. He uncovers that she was human, was more and more autocratic as the years went by, but still with taking all that into account she was a sincere, humble, and trusting servant of Jesus Christ.
This is a fine volume on a fine lady and I highly recommend it.

Although I heard pieces of her story before, this book was my first introduction to the life and ministry of Amy Carmichael. Her faith in God and trust of the Scriptures combined with her love for people and tireless service stand as testimony to the work of God in and through her.
Iain Murray is a phenomenal biographer and this book shows this skill. It is short enough to be read quickly, but thorough enough to stand as an adequate treatment of her life and ministry.
The story of Amy left me with these takeaways:
1. A personal closeness to God through a rich immersion in the Bible provides the tools that the Spirit needs make one fruitful.
2. The Bible isn't just to be believed literally, but acted upon literally.
3. The foundation of all ministry is love, which is given and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
4. There is no substitute for prayer.

I absolutely loved this biography.

An excellent read for Christians of all ages. I appreciate Iain Murray displaying her shortcomings such as her Irish temper and impatience at times. However, her unbroken ministry of 55 consecutive years in India is a testimony to her love for Christ and His people.
Several things stood out to me from Amy's life:
- She was faithful and fruitful in Belfast, Ireland well before she continued to be faithful and fruitful in India
- She was a God-fearing woman who did not modify the gospel to accomodate the modern approaches of her day towards a "new evangelism"
- She was doctrinally driven in her disagreement with Stephen Neil who did not hold to the inerrancy of the Scriptures
- She was full of love towards others
- She embraced her suffering as she faced the chronic pain of neuralgia and eventual disability
- She was a woman of resolve marching forward as a good soldier of Christ
- She was content in her singleness, fully trusting God to meet all her needs.
- She was from a godly family, especially a godly mother who shaped her love for God and the Scriptures
- She was teachable from both Robert Wilson and Thomas Walker.
- She was committed in learning the Tamil language despite great challenges.
- She had a healthy missiology that came from a sound ecclesiology. She knew that she was proven at home before she could be proven abroad. She saw her ministry as something that required local Indian nationals to continue well after she's gone.

A concise biography, with brief commentary on her legacy at the end. Her life is a great story, and I resonated with some of her practical emphases.
•••
The narrative was not dry, giving proper value to the poetic nature of her life, but without using overly flowery or heroic language. This biography reflects her own emphasis on writing to encourage action. Missionary stories are not entertainment, but an encouragement to pray for dark areas and join God's good work. If you don't know it, hers is a great and down-to-earth story — and not one that ends in martyrdom, but a long and faithful life.
The last quarter of the book was spent on her legacy, some commentary of her success and shortcomings, and an emphasis on her stand against the rationalistic biblical liberalism that was encroaching during her time. This end commentary may narrow the intended audience a little, as it's slightly more philosophical in nature, but the book is still plenty accessible.
•••
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in missions or history, or to people who want to grow such an interest. Just know that, since she saved many children from lives of prostitution, giving this edition to younger readers may require parental guidance.

I knew very little of Amy Carmichael before reading this book. Given that this is such a short biography that only gives glimpses of her life and ministry, I feel like I am still missing so much.
This is not a knock on Amy Carmichael or her ministry. Nor is this a knock on Iain Murray (who is a wonderful and faithful biographer, historian, and theologian).
The shortness of this particular biography just left me wondering about many of the details of her life and ministry.
I will look forward to reading a fuller, more comprehensive biography of Amy Carmichael, written by Elisabeth Elliot (A Chance to Die)

"There are some who would have Christ cheap, Christ 'without the cross. But the price will not come down.' Will you pay the price to live a cruciform life?"
This was one of the questions put to Christian missionaries seeking to join Amy in her work at Dohnavur Fellowship in India. She was uninterested in 'casual Christian life' (if there can be such a thing), and wouldn't seek any (greatly needed) help from anyone unwilling to count the cost and pay it. Her life exemplified one spent selflessly loving out of the overflow of Christ's great love for her.
