Publisher's Synopsis

""Things As They Are: Mission Work In Southern India"" is a book written by Amy Wilson-Carmichael in 1905. The book is a memoir of her experiences as a Christian missionary in the southern part of India. Wilson-Carmichael was a British woman who went to India in 1895 to work as a missionary. She spent most of her time in the state of Tamil Nadu, where she founded the Dohnavur Fellowship, a community of Christian women who worked to rescue and care for young girls who were being forced into prostitution.The book is a detailed account of Wilson-Carmichael's experiences in India. She describes the challenges she faced as a foreigner in a new and unfamiliar culture, as well as the difficulties of working with people who had different beliefs and customs. She also writes about the poverty and suffering she witnessed in India, and the efforts she and her fellow missionaries made to alleviate it.""Things As They Are"" is a powerful and moving book that offers a unique perspective on the history of Christian missions in India. Wilson-Carmichael's writing is vivid and descriptive, and she brings to life the people and places she encountered during her time in India. The book is an important historical document that provides insight into the social, cultural, and religious issues that shaped India in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
