The Journals of Jim Elliot
By Jim Elliot / Baker

Jim Elliot was part of a team of young missionaries murdered in Ecuador in 1956 by the Auca Indians to whom they were witnessing. At the age of 29, he left behind a young widow, a baby daughter, and volumes of personal journals written over many years. In 1978, Revell published the complete and unabridged journals, edited by his widow, Elisabeth, and the journals have stayed in print ever since. And it’s no wonder–Jim Elliot was an intelligent thinker and strong writer in these personal, yet universal, musings about faith, work, and love. This book is a wonderful account of the life of a man who yearns to know God’s plan for his life, details his fascinating missions work, and loves Elisabeth–first as a single man, then as a happily married one. This book will intrigue fans of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot, readers interested in missions, and young people struggling to find God’s plan for their lives.

The Savage, My Kinsman
By Elisabeth Elliot / Gospel Light

The Savage, My Kinsman tells the story, in text and pictures, of Elisabeth Elliot’s venture into Auca territory three years after the death of her husband, Jim Elliot. Elisabeth and her daughter Valerie, then three years old, returned to the jungle along with Rachel Saint, the sister of one of the other slain men. The linguistic work of these women brought Christ’s message of salvation to the tribe that had killed their loved ones. They became the first to enter Auca territory–and live to tell the story.

Through Gates of Splendor

INCREDIBLE TOOL FOR OUR TIMES

The web/digital revolution is changing how we think and communicate, in ways we are only starting to see. Its impact will be as far-reaching as the invention of the printing press. That changed the world for ever, enabling the Reformation and Renaissance, plus effective evangelism and discipleship.

Christians have been slow to take up new mediums and use them for evangelism. Even now, 10 years after the effective birth of the Internet, the overwhelming majority of Christian websites have been written purely for Christians. And, when we do finally take up a new medium (more…)
