Plowed Under by Amy Carmichael

Amy Carmichael, admired writer and missionary, tells the story of Arulai Tara (Star of Grace), the sister of Mimosa. Arulai was given a notebook during a great illness and told to write what you can of the coming of the call of the unseen Spring. This book reveals the importance of preparing ourselves for obedience to God s call in our lives; the beauty in remaining faithful in preparing the ground God has given us. In the words of St. John of the Cross, Plowed Under illuminates for the reader the importance of [living] in the world as though there were in it but God and thy soul.

About the Author
Amy Carmichael was the eldest daughter of a large Christ-centered family in Millisle, Ireland. She learned at an early age that "nothing is important but that which is eternal." This understanding proved to be a foundation for her service to the Lord among the mill workers of Ireland, the Japanese briefly, and in India where she began her ministry to children in 1895 and where she remained until her death in 1951.
