Scroll Reader (Free Christian Audiobooks) Amy Carmichael | Things As They Are: Mission Work In Southern India (Audiobook)
Called “a battle-book” by those who first read her letters, Things as They Are plunges you into two years on the southernmost outposts of India’s mission field, where Amy Carmichael and her fellow “Band Sisters” bore witness to the dust of ancient customs and temple bondage.
In candid dispatches she lays bare the physical trials—fevered nights, hungry days—and the spiritual warfare behind them, echoing Ephesians 6:12’s reminder that our struggle is “against the rulers…of the darkness.” These pages touch only the Dust of the Actual, yet point to a greater Energy at work—an unseen conflict in which Christ alone prevails.
May her unwavering obedience and sacrificial love remind you that when the call of Christ meets the cries of the oppressed, no barrier—cultural or spiritual—can stand against the sweeping power of a heart fully surrendered to God’s redemptive purposes.
