This is actually a list I wrote up way before all the COVID madness descended upon us, but now that we all have more time (thanks quarantine), here’s some recommendations:

I’m enthralled with a biography of Amy Carmichael called “A Chance to Die” by Elisabeth Elliot. Amy started a Christian orphanage in India in 1901 that is still going strong today. It’s free on archive.org
