Things as they are : $b Mission work in Southern India

"Things as They Are: Mission Work in Southern India" by Amy Carmichael is a detailed look at the tough job of missionaries in early 1900s Southern India. It shows the real challenges and hardships of working with Hindu communities. The story dives into the difficulties of the caste system and traditions that make it hard for people to accept Christianity. We see this through the eyes of the author as she shares her observations, introducing us to Hindus and other missionaries. These people are all trying to find their way through the complex rules of society and spiritual resistance. Carmichael doesn't hold back on portraying the urgent and sometimes heartbreaking work they do. We hear stories about people torn between the appeal of Christianity and what their society expects of them. This book paints a vivid picture of the battles between belief, culture, and the human spirit.
