If: A Devotional Journal and Account of Amy Carmichael’s Life and Ministry
By Amy Carmichael, with contributions by Valerie Elliot Shepard & Jim Palumbo
 
Discover the timeless wisdom of Amy Carmichael’s If, now reimagined as a devotional journal that invites you into a transformative journey of Calvary Love—the selfless, sacrificial love of Christ. Spoken from heaven, scribbled in pencil in the heart of India, and designed in Madagascar, this cherished work has shaped countless lives, including that of missionary Elisabeth Elliot, who said of Carmichael, “She showed me the shape of godliness.”

This devotional journal pairs Carmichael’s profound “If” statements with prayers, scripture verses, and space for reflection, guiding you to examine your heart and live out God’s love with hands and feet. With 65 meditations—perfect for a year-long journey or a lifetime of revisiting—this book is a treasure chest of spiritual gems. Jim Palumbo, a teacher and publisher called to point others to Jesus, enriches the experience with insights that echo C.S. Lewis’s The Four Loves, making If a companion for those seeking to understand agape love.

From Carmichael’s selfless ministry to widows and orphans to her poetic challenges against religious pretense, If calls you to move from the prayer closet to the poor house, embodying true religion. Ideal for readers of devotional classics, missionaries, and anyone yearning for a deeper walk with Christ, this book promises to leave you speechless, on your knees, and forever changed, saying, “Teach me Your kind of love, O God.”
