Story
Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband, Jim, and his four colleagues. Incredibly, prayerfully, Elisabeth took her toddler daughter, snakebite kit, Bible, and journal...and lived in the jungle with the stone-age people who killed her husband. In this authorized biography, Ellen Vaughn uses Elisabeth’s private, unpublished journals, and candid interviews with her family and friends, to paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history.

Sometimes life doesn’t make sense. When death, illness, unemployment, or a difficult relationship challenges everything we thought we knew, we can feel utterly unprepared to cope. Best-selling author Paul David Tripp weaves together his personal story, years of counseling experience, and biblical insights to help us in the midst of suffering, identifying six traps to avoid - including doubt, discouragement, and denial - and six comforts to embrace - including God’s presence, God’s people, and God’s grace.

Story
Because obeying God makes sense to us, in most cases, His laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don’t want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. When unexpected situations arise that appear unjust, irrational, or even dreadful, we feel confused and frustrated. And before long, we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives.

Life is fragile. But hope in Christ lasts forever. We tend to go about our day to day routines imagining this earthly existence of ours will just go on and on. But it won’t. Our stay on earth is really very brief. And when a loved one unexpectedly steps out of this life into eternity, it shakes us to the core. We ask ourselves: Is heaven real? Will I see him–will I see her–again? Will we be together again? How can I know for sure?

Encouraging Book

Publisher's summary
Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the deepest lessons about God.
Why doesn’t God do something about suffering? He has, He did, He is, and He will.
Suffering and love are inexplicably linked, as God’s love for His people is evidenced in His sending Jesus to carry our sins, griefs, and sufferings on the cross, sacrificially taking what was not His on Himself so that we would not be required to carry it. He has walked the ultimate path of suffering, and He has won victory on our behalf.
This truth led Elisabeth to say, “Whatever is in the cup that God is offering to me, whether it be pain and sorrow and suffering and grief along with the many more joys, I’m willing to take it because I trust Him.”
Because suffering is never for nothing.

Elisabeth Elliott was an amazing woman. I was so surprised at her humility and transparency. she gives me hope. there is a purpose in our pain. while I know the narrator is an award winner, I did not care for her voice at all. took quite awhile to get used to it enough to focus solely on the content.

Suffering is never for nothing
Wisdom from Mrs. Elliott about the purpose and ways God uses suffering to make us more like Christ. A treasure from a life well lived and full of some of the most terrible suffering I could imagine and yet, the humility and confidence in our Lord shines brighter than the suffering itself. I am thankful to have been able to partake of these teachings as they were blessings to me.

So Encouraging
This book was such a blessing! It felt like you were sitting in the audience with her. Elisabeth Elliot went through so much yet she truly had the right perspective in life that it was all nothing compared with the glory which shall be revealed. If you are in the midst of any type of suffering or season of discouragement, I highly recommend this book. I listened to it on the way to and from work and it was such an encouragement to me!

refreshing
Elizabeth Elliott is very inspiring. this book was a great reminder that though there's a season for everything, including mourning, that we can find peace in Christ, even if we can't find a reason, we know that God is with us and we can allow our experiences to reshape is in positive ways, even if the experience was negative.
I've lived through a lot of true suffering, and yes, others have it worse than I, but I don't think it's too 'pie-in-the-sky', to just leave some things to Christ, especially when the justice system fails. God is still sovereign and 'vengeance is mine says the LORD'.

The loaf that was broken to feed the multitudes: as a whole loaf, it would have fed only a small boy. But broken into pieces, the loaf fed the world. God can use our suffering on His behalf to “save much people alive” (Genesis 50:20). Carry on, fellow sufferer…glory awaits.

Very helpful book on suffering
I appreciated the honest, compassionate and direct way in which Elisabeth deals with the challenging topic of suffering. Using personal experiences and sound biblical wisdom, she presents a Christ-centred perspective on suffering. She does not offer easy answers or ‘preachy’ advice, but deals with gritty realities and starts with the attitudes of our hearts towards the minor and major problems in life.
It was read well by Pam and you could imagine Elisabeth saying it that way.

Many know the heroic story of Jim Elliot’s violent death in 1956, killed by a primitive Ecuadorian tribe he was seeking to reach. Many also know the prolific legacy of Elisabeth Elliot, whose influence on generations of believers through print and broadcast testimony continues to resonate. What many don’t know is the remarkable story of how these two stalwart personalities - single-mindedly devoted to pursuing God’s will for their young lives, certain their future callings would require them to sacrifice forever the blessings of marriage - found their hearts intertwined.

Story
In January 1956, a tragic story flooded headlines around the world. Five men, spurred by a passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ, ventured deep into the jungles of Ecuador. Their goal: to make contact with an isolated tribe whose previous response to the outside world had been to attack all strangers. Through Gates of Splendor, the story of Nate Saint, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming, and Jim Elliot, was first recorded in 1956 by Jim's widow, Elisabeth.

Many also know the prolific legacy of Elisabeth Elliot, whose influence on generations of believers through print and broadcast testimony continues to resonate. What many don’t know is the remarkable story of how these two stalwart personalities - single-mindedly devoted to pursuing God’s will for their young lives, certain their future callings would require them to sacrifice forever the blessings of marriage - found their hearts intertwined.
