Anybody discussing missionaries of history will no doubt mention Amy Carmichael. Her love of children has touched both children and adults alike.
A big thank you goes to The Good Book Company for the complimentary copy of this children’s book. This is my honest review.
Amy Carmichael: The Brown-Eyed Girl Who Learned to Pray was written by Hunter Beless. The book has a hard cover and the pages are nice and glossy. The story is clear and easy to understand, perfect for young children.
Mrs. Beless does a great job of sharing the gospel and reinforcing God’s love to everyone. I love how she brings in the colors of Amy’s eyes and shows how God can sometimes not answer our prayers because He has a reason for it.
I also love the fact that Amy kept a “Ask and Receive” book. This is a great idea for families to do together.
The illustrations by Heloise Mab will keep children’s attention. The pictures are bright with lots of faces to look at.
I would highly recommend this book to any Christian family wanting to introduce young children to missionary biographies. Also, this book would be perfect for a church Sunday school or church library.
Christian biographies are a great starting off point for unit studies while homeschooling. To see more about unit studies with tips and examples, take a look at my Homeschooling From A to Z: U is for Unit Studies.
Using missionary biographies in your homeschool is a great way to introduce your children to thinking about missionaries. You can read more ideas in this post. How to Create a Mission-Minded Homeschool.
