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.

Based on Elisabeth Elliot’s best-seller, Through Gates of Splendor. In 1956, a team of missionaries—including Jim and Elisabeth Elliot—traveled to Ecuador. This feature-length documentary tells their startling true-life story of sacrifice, ministry, love, forgiveness, and changed lives. The powerful journey begins with interviews of the Waodani people discussing their way of life before hearing the gospel message. (Rated PG-13; contains some violence and native nudity.) Contains abridged version. Approx. 96 minutes.

Special Features:

• Region Coded 1, NTSC

In 1956, Jim Elliot and four other men—missionaries to Ecuador’s fierce stone-age tribe of Auca Indians—were brutally martyred. But it was not the death of the mission! Narrated by Jim’s wife, Elisabeth, this DVD chronicles the gripping story of men and women willing to let God work through them at any cost. DVD special features include scene selection, and English and Spanish languages. Contains brief nudity. Approx. 36 minutes.

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. 

Using the title of one of her favorite hymns, Elisabeth Elliot once again presents an inspiring collection of reflections on living the Christian life. Illustrating biblical concepts with her rich personal experiences as a missionary, mother, wife, widow, radio host, and internationally known public speaker, she writes with clarity and elegance. 

In 1956, five young men, including Elliot’s husband, traveled into the jungles of Ecuador to establish communication with the fierce Waorani Tribe. In a nearby village, their wives waited to hear from them. The news they received—all five missionaries had been murdered—changed lives forever. A lasting story of God’s grace and great courage. 269 pages, softcover from Tyndale. 

This beautifully written and moving memoir of the martyrdom of Jim Elliot and four other missionaries at the hands of the Auca Indians in Ecuador has inspired Christians since its first publication in 1958. Elisabeth Elliot makes full use of Jim’s revealing diaries to fill in the details of a life “hid with Christ in God.” Her portrait of a man who was utterly committed is a timeless testament to the mercy and majesty of the Almighty. 

By Elisabeth Elliot / Baker

In her first year as a missionary to a small group of native women in the Ecuadorian jungle, Elizabeth Elliot faced physical and spiritual trials. In this book, Elliot captures the mysteries and stark realities surrounding the colorful and primitive world in which she ministered. More than just a recounting of her early days, this is a beautifully crafted and deeply personal reflection on the important questions of life and a remarkable testimony to an authentic Christian commitment. 

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…)
