Jim Elliot: One Great Purpose

De: Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

Narrado por: Tim Gregory

Jim and Pete turned to see the Auca men, their deadly spears raised, running toward Nate, Ed, and Roger. Jim stood in the river, his hand on his pistol. Should he defend himself? He already knew the answer. Each man had promised the others that he would not save himself by killing those they had sought out in Jesus' name.

Jim Elliot and his coworkers surrendered their lives in Ecuador's jungle, trusting that their sacrifice would not be in vain. Decades later, this dramatic event has challenged countless Christians to live with one great purpose: to bring the gospel to those who have never heard.

Loved it!

My kids were riveted to every word! Two thumbs up! Jim Elliot's story is a humble reminder of what each of us is called to do.

Inspiring story

Great narrator making the story come to live with impact that it’s hard to keep your eyes dry. I was privileged to visit the location of the story in 1992 as part of a team of Operation Mobilization’s mission ship MV Logos 2. Great to see how the gospel brought such beautiful change compared to the darkness before

amazing story

the reader was really easy to hear and great story!!!!!!!!!!u recommend this bloom, very good

Buy both books

I strongly recommend you first read Elisabeth Elliot before Jim it really changes the story anyway love the book and even though you wouldn’t I Elizabeth Elliott still recommend Jim Elliott to everyone!

Jim Elliott

I understand now why Elizabeth Elliot was such a awesome writer. She had such an example in her husband of what missionary life was like.

Profound Example of God Moving in Someone's Life

Would you listen to Jim Elliot again? Why?

Yes, incredibly inspiring and enriching story.

Have you listened to any of Tim Gregory’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, without spoiling the outcome, the part about the encounter with the indian tribe and how that experience brought them to know God.

Any additional comments?

I was moved to tears.

Great Overview

As with most abridged works it felt at times that the authors were working hard to summarize the story which made it feel a little lacking for details, but I guess I could have just read "Through Gates of Splendor". I did feel like I got a great high level overview, but I would say that it felt like many of the spiritual details were removed. I cannot be too critical because I have not read the Through Gates of Splendor. Overall with the time. Thanks.

I Never Tire of Inspiring Missionary Stories

Being a missionary myself, it is encouraging to know the stories of those who walked this path of faith with Jesus before me. It is encouraging to know they were ordinary people, just like me, with an extraordinary call. Great job on the audio presentation of this book. All these books in the series are an excellent inspiring collection.

Maybe a good book for other.

Very slow paced. Didn't catch my attention! it may be a good book for others.
