I am reviewing a copy of Becoming Elisabeth Elliot through B&H Publishing Group and Netgalley:
After her husband Jim Elliot and four of her Colleagues were killed in Ecuador by an Amazonian Tribe, Elisabeth took her daughter and snake bite kit and went prayerfully to stay with the same tribe of stone aged people who had killed her husband. Many came to Christ compelled by Elisabeth’s capacity for forgiveness and friendship.
Elisabeth Elliot was a no nonsense courageous Christian who went on to write dozens of books host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. Elisabeth Elliot was a pillar of committed, coherent faith, a committed and at times controversial icon.
In Becoming Elisabeth Elliot paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history. The book paints a picture of a funny, sensual, brilliant, witty self-deprecating, sensitive, radical, and surprisingly relatable person utterly submitted to doing God’s will, no matter how high the cost.
Elisabeth did not question how it made her feel, but instead asked whether it was true or not.
I give Becoming Elisabeth Elliot five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
