Included in this collection are the complete texts of:
1. FROM SUNRISE LAND (1895) - Amy Carmichael's first book, an intriguing look at her early missionary life in Japan and the many trials she faced. Includes lovely illustrations and many of Amy's own drawings.
2. FROM THE FIGHT (1900). Amy's first book from India, highlighting some of her earliest efforts in missions work in South India. (5 chapters)
3. THINGS AS THEY ARE: Missionary Work in South India (1903). One of her most well known and controversial books, it is a look at Amy's daily life in her work in South India, especially that of rescuing young children from temple prostitution (aka: "being married to the gods"). It was so shocking that many didn't believe what she'd written when it was first published, so this edition contains a number of letters from other missionaries confirming the truth of what Amy wrote. (32 chapters and dozens of illustrations)
4. OVERWEIGHTS OF JOY (1906). A sequel to Things As They Are, it continues the story of Amy’s missions work, honestly sharing its joys and struggles. (36 chapters, illustrated).
5. THE BEGINNING OF A STORY - very RARE booklet, taken out of print by Amy Carmichael as she felt it went against principles of walking by faith! Explains how Amy began to be involved in rescuing temple girls.
6. LOTUS BUDS (1909). A touching look at many of the precious children that Amy and her companions saved out of temple prostitution. (36 chapters, illustrated).
7. THE CONTINUATION OF A STORY (1914) - continues the story of Amy Carmichael's early ministry to temple children.
8. WALKER OF TINNEVELLY (1916) was a missionary and fiery revival preacher in India. He went to South India with the CMS (Church Missionary Society) in Tirrunevelly (South India) from 1885 until his death in 1912. He was a powerful preacher and helped form many evangelistic traveling groups. While he faced much opposition from Hindus he also saw sparks of revival, especially in 1905-1906.
