#1

On April 11, 1948, Jim Elliot was a junior at Wheaton College, thirty miles west of Chicago. He and three friends, another Jim, Walt, and Hobey, laughed and kidded one another as they piled into Hobey’s 1946 Nash. They were headed to a local hospital to visit patients and tell them about Christ.

#2

The work for which God saved Jim’s life was to be a missionary in Ecuador’s mysterious green rainforest. He had found the work for which he was suited, and he was loving it.

#3

The five missionaries had dreamed of introducing the love of Jesus to the Auca tribe, but they never received a response. They had a sense that the Waodani were watching them.

#4

The missionaries were excited to meet the Waodani tribe, as it was the first friendly contact with an untouched, violent tribe. They prayed it would be the beginning of a great new frontier for the gospel.

#5

The event that some say galvanized the Christian mission movement for the second half of the twentieth century took less than fifteen minutes. Days later, the search and recovery party found the carnage. When they fished Nate’s bloody body out of the Curaray River, his watch had stopped at 3:12 p. m.

#6

The story of the men’s plans, their families, and the quickening pace of the journey toward the result readers already knew - the speared bodies floating in the river - made for a dramatic, unforgettable read.

#7

Elisabeth Elliot was a missionary who went to live with the Waodani tribe in 1957. She began to learn their language, and she and her daughter Valerie lived with them. She wanted to forgive the tribe for the deaths of her husband and friends, and she believed that God was directing her to live with the tribe.

#8

Elisabeth Elliot was a Christian leader who was committed to living her life flat-out for Christ. She was curious, intellectually honest, and unafraid of the quest for Truth. Not just about living with naked people who could kill her while she slept, but unafraid that the quest for Truth might lead her to an inconvenient conclusion.

#9

Elisabeth Elliot was a person who accepted that the Lord gives and takes away with equanimity. She did not give much sway to her feelings, but her actions emerged from what she believed was God’s will.

#10

Elisabeth Elliot’s life was one of constant adventure and challenge, and she was always willing to die to self in order to find real life. She was a radical who believed in the Bible’s mandate that we die to self, and take up our cross to follow Jesus.

#11

Elisabeth Elliot’s journals have never been published. They are passionate, hilarious, sensual, brilliant, mundane, witty, self-deprecating, and always committed and submitted to doing God’s will.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The pages of Elisabeth’s book are filled with pictures of her with her family, and her first words were at nine months, she walked at a year, and by sixteen months she had a large vocabulary.

#2

The Howard family was extremely strict about their rules, and they enforced them with G. M. T. or Good Missionary Training. They were extremely religious, and they enforced that with their children.

#3

The children of the Howard family knew they were loved, even without a lot of cuddling and embracing. They were raised by their mother, who did not receive hugs or kisses from her own father or her stepmother after her mother died when she was twelve.

#4

Philip Howard, the family’s father, was an amateur ornithologist. He had a distinct birdcall for each of his six children and his wife. Betty’s was the wood pewee.

#5

The Howard family was a literary family. Their father, Philip Howard, was a stickler for proper English, and he read out loud to the children men of majestic prose like Charles Spurgeon and Matthew Henry.

#6

The Howards were a family of Quakers, who were very open and loved to host guests. They had a rich spiritual heritage, and their home life was performance-driven yet secure. Betty was very shy with strangers, but she was always tall for her age.

#7

Betty’s diary is a record of her life as a kid, from the privileged pages that follow each day’s weather to school projects and Easter Sunday 1938, when she wore her new suede shoes and a blue straw hat.

#8

The family of Betty Scott, who would become a missionary, was visited by one in the early 1930s. She had grown up in China and returned to the United States at age seventeen to attend Moody Bible Institute. She had fallen in love with a fellow student named John Stam, but returned to the mission field without him.

#9

The Stams were communists, and they were killed for it. Their daughter, Helen, was saved by a local Chinese pastor. She was brought back to the United States and raised by her grandparents.

#10

Betty was a loner at her public high school, but she was excited to be attending a Christian boarding school in Florida. She was shipped off to the Tamiami Champion train in September 1941.

#11

Betty Howard, a shy, pale girl from New Jersey, was sent to Hampden DuBose Academy in Florida in September 1941. The school was a crossroads for missionaries on furlough, internationally known Christian speakers, and pastors who stopped by to visit their kids.

#12

At Hampden DuBose, Betty learned how to arrange flowers in a Venetian glass vase, pour coffee in delicate demitasses after dinner, and set out gleaming silver salad forks at exactly the right angles on starched, white tablecloths that she had ironed herself.
