Jim Elliot (Heroes of the Faith)

Description of Susan Martins Miller, author of Jim Elliot:

"He is not fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliot wrote these words as he prayed for God's direction for missionary service. Born into a godly family in Portland, Oregon, Jim was a dynamic speaker, a Greek scholar, and a college wrestling champion. But he welcomed the sacrifice of the mission field, even to the point of death--and, years later in Ecuador, that would be his ultimate calling. Though many saw this young man's martyrdom as a tragedy, God knew that Jim Elliot's extraordinary witness would not end there--as the seeds of a previously impossible ministry had been planted among the Auca Indians. Softcover, 195 pages from Barbour.
