Things As They Are

Description

“We try to show you what goes on behind the door…”

Things as They Are was the first manuscript Amy Carmichael sent back to her British supporters after she began her mission work in India. 19th century England reacted in horror to the blunt honesty and tragic tales she relates in this volume, accustomed as they were to the polished, glossy stories of triumph that missionaries of her era were accustomed to sending back home. It was a first for its time, and Carmichael does her utmost to portray India as things truly were. The result is a gripping, if sobering, read.
