Elisabeth Elliot

Elisabeth Elliot (nee Howard; December 21, 1926 - June 15, 2015) was a Christian author and speaker. Her first husband, Jim Elliot, was killed in 1956 while attempting to make missionary contact with the Auca (now known as Huaorani; also rendered as Waorani or Waodani) of eastern Ecuador.

A must read

This is a must read. Five men who individually sought out to be obedient to whatever the will of God was. Elisabeth describes each man, frequently using their own writings in the form of their journal entries. Each had different gifts and qualities, but all were completely sold out to God. Being married to a pilot, I especially enjoyed the descriptions of Nate’s landings and techniques. He truly was exceptional. God works in mysterious ways, beyond our understanding. In conjunction with this book, I also recommend “Becoming Elisabeth Elliot”.
