Title: A remarkable Christian woman -- perhaps TOO remarkable
Review: Remarkable Christian woman -- perhaps too remarkable. Amy Carmichael was obviously used greatly of God in her work. Likewise, Elisabeth Elliot obviously is a great admirer of Carmichael. However, it would seem that Elliots admiration has impeded her ability to produce a balanced biography of this woman to some degree. This book received high marks for its portrayal of a remarkable Christian woman and for the value of learning the lives and practices of the strong in faith; however, I could not give it a 5-star rating, for Elliot tends to idolize Carmichael. I would still recommend this book, but would simply warn the reader to understand that Elliot is writing from a position that is not always unbiased. (Although, based on the life of this extraordinary woman, one cannot entirely blame her).
