One of the most riveting missionary stories I have ever read. This book will keep you in awe of God's sovereign will over all of life's happenings. From before being a missionary to being widowed on the mission field you will marvel at God's grace in Ms. Elliot's life. A biography of sorts on the life of Jim Elliot, a little of Jim & Elisabeth's courtship story, their life as a young married couple with a baby (later) as missionaries in Ecuador, Jim's death and the death of the other missionary men that were with him. A great testimony of still loving God in the midst of our circumstances. Highly recommend!!
