The way of the cross
This book it worth reading just for the preface.Then the content itself is even better.Be careful, God might ask you to change!

One of the most influential book in my life
Dedicated on Spiritual works, service and inter-Christian relationship in-depth. Because of this book I have visited Dohnavur Fellowship in S. India once. Suprising that not so many Christians (besides the fews mainly in England) care about (or even know) their exsistance: In their guest book we are the 1st Chinese (and properly the 2nd Asians besides Indian) to visit them.
Big conviction in a small package
This is a hard hitting little book. I can not pick it up without saying, "Ouch." It is filled with "If - Then" statements, all ending in "Then I know nothing of Calvary love." It is a small book, and "if" is a small word, but it has a big impact. It is filled with wise and profound statements covering many areas of life. Every time I pick it up it shows me how little I know of Calvary love, and how much God has yet to change me. This is not a book to read once and then put down. It is one to open up at random on a daily basis. It isn't a book shelf book, but one to be kept by the bedside, coffeepot, kitchen table, or any where else that will remind you to pick it up again. It is a convicting reminder of how God loves each of us, and how He expects each of us to pass His love along. ... Read more

Wonderful
This book is wonderful. It was a great encouragement to me. Miss Carmichael confronts the issues of hypocrisy and true motives in this little book. Challenging us to be where the Lord has called us and with the right heart and pure motives, whether those (our peers) around us are or not, and how to best deal with that. She encourages us to represent our Lord as He wishes us to, by loving our brothers, sisters and those we are called to serve in love, and to focus on Christ our true prize. I recommend this little book for any Christian wanting to be a true soldier for Christ, wihtout even a hint of hypocrisy that can turn other away from Christ.

What is a true Missionary?
This book is not just for those who are going to foreign countries to share the gospel but for those who are at home as well. It is not for the ones who want to be "lukewarm" ("in" church but also "in" with the crowd) but those who want to give others a picture of what Christianity really is.How can we reach the world for Christ if we are acting just like them? What hope can we offer them then? We are called to be lights and hold the standard high. It is too easy to slip into a "comfortable" way of life doing what we want to do and only come to God when we "need" Him. We should be asking Him what He wants us to do with our day, and reaching out to those around us. If you want to truly be a missionary you will want this book.

for anyone interested in missions
A controversy at its original time of publishing, this book continues to stir hearts for living consecrated lives for Christ. I have read it several times, and am convicted of a need for a deeper walk with Christ each time. ... Read more

Touched my heart like nothing else
I have been quite ill for several years, and have read many many christian books about illness, etc.Nothing, however, has touched my heart and encouraged my faithfulness like this little book.I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone who is physically or emotionally struggling.

A treasure and a blessing for the hurting
If you or anyone you know have a debilitating condition (cancer, disability, lupus, ms, etc.), PLEASE get this book to them right away!The emotions that no one else understands will be mirrored back to them in a way that will challenge them to depend on God.

a good devotional, especially if you are familiar with Amy Carmichael
The editor of this little book took 40 excerpts from the various books and writings of Amy Carmichael. At the end of each excerpt, the editor writes his own short prayer that goes along with the theme. These were meaningful daily devotionals for 40 days. They will probably mean more if you are familiar with the life of Amy Carmichael. (She was a missionary to India in the early 1900's.) For instance, some of the devotionals on suffering will certainly mean more to you if you are familiar with the suffering Amy went through in the final years of her life. Amy has "been there" and can speak from first hand experience...
You Are My Hiding Place
My mom gave me this book when I was in early high school. It spoke to me then as a young Christian, and it speaks to me now more than 15 years later. I go back to it every once in a while. It both challenges me and comforts me. I highly recommend this book. There are even small prayers at the end of each section that you can either pray yourself or help you begin your own prayer. I also spend time reading the verses surrounding the beginning verse of each chapter.

You Are My Hiding Place
A friend of mine let me borrow this book.God spoke to me so much through it.I've never read anything other than the bible that was so real.She challenged me.This is a 40 day devotional, but sometimes I read 2 or 3 in one day.I cannot say enough about how great this book is.I highly recommend it! ...

How wonderful to see into a life so full of Him!
I was so encouraged by this little book and so thankful the LORD had Amy Carmichael share the awesome way God revealed His love and character to Mimosa.What a rich and really priceless example of a woman's faith and what God does when we trust Him enough to look to Him alone for our life needs.The grace He gives for all He calls us to... what a precious and beautiful story exhibiting God's power and Shepherding love for his child in a dark Hindu culture. ...

Mountain Breezes
It is a sad fact that many of Amy Carmichael's most moving poems are now found only in volumes long out of print. To remedy this situation is one of the goals of this publication. To make more accessible the many bits of poetry - usually untitled in situ - scattered throughout her various works of prose is another. But above all, we the editors wish to more adequtely display both the depth and breath of her saintly insights. For though they span nearly 55 years of her remarkable life, they are timeless.

Beautiful Truth
I cannot recommend this book highly enough! I purchased it originally because I had seen it quoted several times in several books by Elisabeth Elliot(I would also recommend any and all of her books to anyone)and also by her late husband Jim in the book The Journals of Jim Elliot (also a great book). She was such a huge spiritual influence on the both of them and now I know why. I can't even put it into words!! These poems are so well written and they flow so well but they're also so amazingly full of God-given truth that I'm surprised it fits on the pages at all! I've been so incredibly blessed by the little bit that I've read of this book so far and I can't wait to read the rest! If you're thinking about reading this book don't hesitate- get it and let your heart move that much closer to Christ as you read Mrs. Carmichael's amazing book Toward Jerusalem.

Wonderful
This is a wonderful collection of Amy Carmichael poems. They give us a window into the way Miss Carmichael saw the world around her and her Heavenly Father's love. I highly recommend this book it is a wonderful encouragement.

Deep and inspiring
Amy Carmichaels's collection of poetry is breathtaking.In TowardsJerusalem, Miss Carmichael shares her deep love for the Lord through herwritings.They have a lyrical flow that helps you grasp the "biggerpicture" of life and love.Poems such as "In Acceptence LiethPeace" calmed and soothed my soul, and indeed did help me to see wherepeace shall come from.Her poems range in topic from Life issues to Loveissues, but are all Christ-Centered. I was deeply touched and inspired.Agoodcompanion to read along with Towards... is: Candles in the Dark,another one of Miss Carmichaels inspiring books. ... Read more

Sensitive lessons from a walk with pain...
"There are many rooms in the House of Pain. I have asked that I may not miss any room where a reader of this book is or shall be." This quote taken from Chapter 7, "Rough Water" could serve as the thesis for this little book. Amy Carmichael was a 19th century missionary to India. This book is a companion for a walk with pain. The book addresses every aspect of pain: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Carmichael teaches us how to bear our burdens with grace and dignity. Each chapter uses examples from nature to illuminate the lessons that God hides within the pain and stress of our lives. An enriching book for the modern reader! ... Read more

Candles In The Dark is a book for all Christian Libraries.
Candles In The Dark contains brief scripture and devotional reading designed to give comfort and inspire compassion.Full of uplifting and positive thought, the book gives inspiration to people in all walks of life, and undergoing different challenges of faith.I find it hard to keep a copy of it on my shelf; I am more likely to give it away to someone in need of God's comfort. It seems to serve its purpose best in the hands of the broken hearted. Order two. ... Read more

a woman whose heart was after God's
This little gem of a book is perhaps one of the greatest kept secrets in Amy's books and is a trusty companion for any weary saint.Through her writing you can see what a true, deep relationship with Christ looks like, and it is obvious that Amy was like a cup filled to the brim with his love and presence.I can't recommend this book enough.

'His Thoughts Said...His Father Said' --also, 'If'.
I cannot commend these two books highly enough.If you truly seek to know the heart of the Father, these will come as a direct and searching word to your heart. 'His Thoughts Said...His Father Said' --also, 'If'.

My All-time favorite book!
I never thought I would want to read a book over and over again. I always learn something from it. I give it away constantly. Most of us will never suffer the way Mimosa did, but we need to see her faith and endurance as a challenge for us.Amy Carmichael mentions in her forward to the book that "where their arm couldn't reach(to help Mimosa)God's arm could". More folks need to read and really 'hear' that message. The life of faith must be lived out in reality. Life can be hard, but with God you will not go it alone, and there will always be the reward of Himself.

Amazing but true love story of a woman and her God
Mimosa lived in rural India around the turn of the last century.At a young age, Mimosa becomes truly smitten with the God who loves her and who created all things - the Christian God.
Amy Carmichael
Carmichael is truly an inspired writer. This was one book that I could not put down. She writes of a personal experience which is true of many Christians today- persecution and hatred against them. I thank God forwriters like Amy Carmichael, Corrie Ten Boom, and Elisabeth Elliot. ... Read more
