I really enjoy all of the books I read by Elizabeth Elliot. Before reading her books, I had a wrong misconception of her because she had 3 husbands before. However, reading Shadow of the Almighty, Passion & Purity, etc. and this book really open my eyes to how faithful her life is and how I can imitate her godly character. I especially enjoyed the section about finding contentment in life despite the difficult circumstances and troubles we face. I also really enjoyed the chapter about how La...more
While I am technically finished with this book, I will never truly be finished with it...or more accurately, the truths and challenges contained therein will never be finished" with me. Elisabeth Elliot is simply gifted beyond words--her passages about suffering, joy, marriage, and the power of the Gospel simultaneously convict and convince. Every day, I read something that was incredibly timely and relevant--no matter the circumstance. Of course, that is the great Conductor, orchestrating event...more
I have enjoyed all of Elliot's books that I have read. This is my least favorite. It lacks a theme or thesis. The best part of the book was her return to visit the Waorani in Ecuador after thirty one years.
Oh my goodness! I think if I could only recommend one Elliot book, this would be it. I read portions of it over and over and am newly convicted and encouraged. This is a keeper!!!!
Good devotional book. God has used this woman greatly in many lives. Through her books and her pain life stories, she always brings it back to The Lord.
This is one of my most favorite books. It spoke to my heart in such a practical way. It was honest, and true. I enjoyed every word.
I don't normally read Elisabeth Elliot but someone gave me this book. It's a good antidote to my tendency to introspect. She has no tolerance for whining or even feelings. Bad things happening to you? Just do the next thing you're supposed to do. Angry at God? Elisabeth says she has never been angry at God -- he is good and loving, as shown in the death of Jesus Christ for us. I used to think she was not compassionate but now I think the opposite -- she knows how self-destructive self-pity is. W...more

I recommend this to anyone in a trial.
I haven’t yet read a book by E.E. that I haven’t liked and this one rates at the top of the list. Many of her reflections from her 13 yr. radio program are in this book. I took away from it a lot of wisdom, hope as well as many great quotes of inspiration and reflection.
This was one of the books mom was reading at the time she passed away. A great truth to hold onto.
Elizebeth Elliot is truly an awsome writter. this book help me get through a lot.
A great reminder of the Lord's constant and continual love for us.
Great book with lots of biblical, practical truths
a great devotional for me while in Moscow.
Great read for daily devotionals!

From the Author's Web Site: My parents were missionaries in Belgium where I was born. When I was a few months old, we came to the U.S. and lived in Germantown, not far from Philadelphia, where my father became an editor of the Sunday School Times. Some of my contemporaries may remember the publication which was used by hundreds of churches for their weekly unified Sunday School teaching materials....more

“One reason we are so harried and hurried is that we make yesterday and tomorrow our business, when all that legitimately concerns us is today. If we really have too much to do, there are some items on the agenda which God did not put there. Let us submit the list to Him and ask Him to indicate which items we must delete. There is always time to do the will of God. If we are too busy to do that, we are too busy.”
