Through Gates of Splendor: 40th Anniversary Edition

This is a story that took place at the time of my birth, and it is moving, inspiring and challenging in equal measure. The love these men showed to the Auca Indians and the ultimate sacrifice they gave to try to bring the Gospel of the love of Christ to them is a story that has lived with me all my life. And even more so, the forgiveness of the wives left behind, especially Elisabeth Elliot - going into the jungle and taking her child to live with the tribe that had murdered her husband and seek to share God's love with them. Read the sequel 'The Savage my Kinsman' - both of these books show real Christianity in action.

This is an inspiring, challenging book of five Christian heroes who gave their lives for the sake of the gospel.

Hard to put down. He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he can never lose - Jim Elliot.

One of the few books I would recommend that every Christian read. Read it slowly and prayerfully, it's lifechanging. I have few heroes, but Jim Elliot is one of them.
