Amy Carmichael wrote Christian missionary books, devotional prose and memoir drawn from decades of work in India. Things as They Are presents scenes from missionary life and Hindu society through the strongly evangelical assumptions of its period, while Gold Cord recounts the development of the Dohnavur Fellowship and work with children. If is a much shorter devotional built around self-sacrifice, love and service, using brief meditations rather than narrative chapters. Mimosa tells the story of an Indian woman whose Christian faith develops under difficult family and social circumstances. Carmichael's prose ranges from vivid missionary narrative to concentrated devotional writing. Her work fits Christian missions history, evangelical devotional classics and religious memoir, though modern readers may also want historical context for colonial-era attitudes in the books.
