In one of her most personal books, Elisabeth Elliot shares her own perceptions on the meanings of the events in her turbulent life, including the death of her first husband at the hands of the Auca Indians of South America, and the cancer that widowed her for the second time. Undeterred by grief and hardship, Elliot lived a remarkably productive life as a mother, missionary, author, and Christian intellectual. The themes of this collection touch on both her life experiences and the overarching Christian values of overcoming difficulties, taking responsibility, exercising discipline, and trusting in the redeeming grace of God which, in spite of trouble, gives us our life, calls us to labor, and grants us our salvation. This handsomely repackaged edition will be a welcome addition to any aficionado's collection, and it makes an accessible and engaging entry point for those just discovering Elliot's quiet genius. Elisabeth Elliot (1926-2015) was one of the most perceptive and popular Christian writers of the last century. The author of more than twenty books, including Passion and Purity , The Journals of Jim Elliot , and These Strange Ashes , Elliot offered guidance and encouragement to millions of readers worldwide.
