5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent affirmation..., March 23, 2000

This review is from: His Thoughts Said. . .His Father Said (Paperback)

An excellent affirmation of the struggles Christians face in their maturing relationship with the Lord. Amy Carmicheal's intimate relationship with the Lord clearly comes through in the wisdom she shares, wisdom that is obviously gleaned from personal experience. Using a sort of question and answer approach: His thoughts said...(i.e. those of a Christian) and His father said... (God's response to that Christian's struggle) Amy Carmicheal briefly addresses the ups and downs of the Christian life and gives great encouragment for difficult times and joyful times alike. I especially like it because it is not just an gooey feel good devotional book, but one that gives solid truth from God's Word mixed with the sweetness of Amy's knowledge of her Lord.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Devotional Gem, October 26, 2001

By 

D. Rolston (New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: His Thoughts Said. . .His Father Said (Paperback)

I have read this book almost as much as my Bible this year!
This is a devotional type book which presents questions that every child of God asks at some stage of their walk. The "questioner" grapples with issues of perseverence, rising above "the godless chatter of the world", salvation of friends, suffering, serving God despite physical limitations, patience, resting in God's will and death and heaven. The questions or "thoughts" are always met with God's sovereign and comforting reply.
The issues and questions are obviously Amy's own and she has written this book almost as a personal journal of how God has heard her ponderings and responded to them. I am grateful that Amy has shared these thoughts with us in this book.
I have read and reread this book so many times this year when I question the same issues in my mind. It is SO encouraging. It has blessed me so much. I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates REAL LIFE answers to issues as opposed to theological comentaries.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'His Thoughts Said...His Father Said' -- also, 'If'., December 6, 2001

By 

Nan. Murdoch (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: His Thoughts Said. . .His Father Said (Paperback)

I cannot commend these two books highly enough. If you truly seek to know the heart of the Father, these will come as a direct and searching word to your heart.
What a privilege that Amy Carmichael's writings are still being re-printed. She loved her Lord, suffered with Him, and obeyed Him fully - and speaks to us today. Read also her other writings - and the biographies.
