The Savage My Kinsman

by Elisabeth Elliot

Book Overview

Forty years ago the world was shocked by the news that Auca Indians had martyred Jim Elliot and four other American missionaries in the jungles of Ecuador. That was the first chapter of one of the most breathtaking stories of the 20th century. This book tells the story in text and pictures of Elisabeth Elliot's venture into Auca territory to live with the same Indians who had killed her husband.

Customer Reviews

Very Good!

This book definitely teaches so clear, in a practical way, how to love our neighbor. Elisabeth Elliot not just lost her husband but also she was willing to love those who took her husband's life. Wonderful story of love. I suggest if you have not read "Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot" and "Through Gates of Splendor", you should start with those two. Everything will make more sensed at the end.

The Love of Elizabeth Elliott

I read the book entitled "Through Gates of Splendor", and was anxious to read "My Kinsman My Reedemer". The book was fascinating and well written. A great tribute to Christian Missionaries and to those of us who want to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

A story of deep faith

The author tells a story of great faith. After her husband and four others were killed by natives, she determined that she could get closure only by living with those natives. Her story is interesting and shows deep faith and a deep commitment to spread the word of Christ.

Super!

This book changed my life from the time I was five years old in 1967. It still continues to guide my steps today. Had the privilege of meeting Auca Indians in 1971 in Chattanooga, TN, along with the great Elisabeth Elliot.I am looking for the first publication of this book. It is a very large hardback book. Approximate publication would be 1960. Any information would be appreciated. In Christ, Ella
