The Wild-Bird Child: A Life of Amy Carmichael

This biography, researched from Amy Carmichael's original letters, uncovers the heart and conscience of this self-effacing missionary. She has become a legend: brilliant, personable, and passionate. Until her death in 1951, she devoted fifty years of her life to rescuing babies and children from dangerous backgrounds in India. Against difficult circumstances, she and her colleagues provided a safe home for these children in Dohnavur in South India.

Amy Carmichael, Christian missionary, social reformer, and writer, once described herself as a "wild-bird child, and in no wise tame." In this biography, we find spiritual gold.
