Part of the Do Great Things For God series.
Read the true story of Amy Carmichael, a missionary who shared Christ’s love with hundreds of women and children in Asia.
At a time when being a single female missionary was extremely costly, Amy Carmichael spent her life sharing Christ’s love with hundreds of women and children in Asia. Along the way, she adapted to fit into cultures very different from her own, learned to depend on God in prayer, and became a mother to many children who had been sold, kidnapped, outcast, or abandoned. She is a great role model for young children, and her story will enthuse them about the great things they can do for God too.
This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) features stylish illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos. It is part of a series designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
These stories can be read to young children or enjoyed independently by early readers. The free extras make these stories useful for homeschool, Sunday school, missions events, and more.

Throughout my childhood, God used biographies to instill in me a desire to love and serve Christ with all my heart. Among those was the life of Amy Carmichael. I’m so grateful Hunter is sharing Amy’s story to inspire a new generation of children with this moving example of radical faith and sacrificial love.
A small book about a big heart. Amy Carmichael’s self-giving love shines in striking contrast to our era of self-love. She served people so well because she didn’t finally live for them—she lived for God. Turn these pages with your kids and watch them glimpse what life is all about.
Amy Carmichael has been one of my heroes of the faith since I first read her biography in college. I’m thrilled to see this excellent new children’s book, “Amy Carmichael: The Brown-Eyed Girl Who Learned to Pray” by Hunter Beless. I hope her story will inspire and encourage a new generation of children who prayerfully ask God to do great things!
