A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael
Ebook
A Chance to Die is a vibrant portrayal of Amy Carmichael,
an Irish missionary and writer who spent fifty-three years in south
India without furlough. There she became known as "Amma," or
"mother," as she founded the Dohnavur Fellowship, a refuge for
underprivileged children.
Amy's life of obedience and courage stands as a model for all who
claim the name of Christ. She was a woman with desires and dreams,
faults and fears, who gave her life unconditionally to serve her
Master.
Bringing Amma to life through inspiring photos and compelling
biographical narrative, Elisabeth Elliot urges readers to examine
the depths of their own commitment to Christ.
From the Back Cover
Be inspired by a woman who dared to follow God
Amy Carmichael understood true discipleship and lived it out. At a
very young age she felt called to the mission field, followed God's
guidance, and eventually went to India, where she would spend
fifty-three years without furlough. While there, Amy founded the
Dohnavur Fellowship, a refuge for children in moral danger-children
who were orphaned or unwanted and sold to the temple. Amy became a
mother for these children, and so they called her "Amma."
Even today, Amy's life of obedience and courage stands as a model
for all Christians everywhere. We resonate with her desires and
dreams, her faults and fears, her dedication and service. For
former missionary and author Elisabeth Elliot, Amy became a role
model. "She was my first spiritual mother," writes Elliot. "She
showed me the shape of godliness."
A Chance to Die is the life story of Amy Carmichael. In this
reverent biography, Elisabeth Elliot brings "Amma" to life,
providing a compelling, unforgettable narrative that will provoke
you to examine the depths of your own faith and encourage you to
reaffirm your life and commitment to Christ.
Elisabeth Elliot, one of the outstanding women of present-day
Christianity, is the author of more than twenty books, including
Passion and Purity, The Journals of Jim Elliot, and These Strange
Ashes. She and her husband, Lars Gren, live in Magnolia,
Massachusetts.
