Book Overview

The true story of five young twentieth-century martyrs.

In 1956, five young men traveled deep into the jungles of Ecuador to establish communication and share the gospel with the fierce and isolated Waorani tribe. In nearby villages, their wives huddled around radio receivers, eagerly awaiting news of the historic encounter. The news they received sent shock waves around the world and changed their lives forever.

Disappointed

Couldn’t get into it.

I thought it would be bigger

This book is so small and the print is so small I don't think I will be able to read it. I'm disappointed.

Brimming with Enthusiasm, Inspirational and Poignant

Elisabeth Elliot masterfully journals the account of the 5 young missionaries enthusiastic outreach for Indian tribes in Ecuador, starting with their calling and arrival in Ecuador, working with the Quichas and some more accessible tribes and drawn to the bringing of the Gospel to the Auca, a tribe feared by all of their neighbors as lurking killers whose custom is to spy and ambush all outsiders. The men, with hearts burdened for the Auca, sought to befriend them and give them the Gospel. The account leaves no doubt that these men and their wives were led by the Lord and even though the outcome was not what was hoped for, Mrs. Elliott's book is inspirational in the enthusiasm that these dedicated servants of the Lord went about to reach the Auca, as well as the widows' total reliance on their relationship with Jesus Christ after the men were killed to continue in their ministries to serve and bring the Gospel to the Ecuadorian Indians.Highly recommended for home-schoolers, teenagers and today's youth in need of heroes.
