A Path Through Suffering: Discovering the Relationship Between God's Mercy and Our Pain 7 reviews
Elisabeth Elliot
Vine Books, 1992
Reconciling Faith and Suffering
I was born with health issues and have suffered for many years of my life as a result. I am now an adult and have rarely enjoyed life without significant pain of some kind. I have been prayed for, prayed over, told I lacked faith, preached to, felt sorry for, etc. But this book puts meaning and purpose not only in suffering, but in faith through suffering. With the additional quotes from the ...

Through gates of splendor (Spire books)34 reviews
Elisabeth Elliot
Fleming H. Revell Co, 1970
Very Inspirational and Encouraging
This book really makes one question: How much do I truly trust the Lord? What would I be willing to give up should I be called to it? Would I be willing to sacrifice the basic comforts I know and depend on? Would I be willing to sacrifice my life with forethought decision? Even harder for me to think of than the sacrifice of my own life, would I be willing to sacrifice that of my husband, ...

Elisabeth Elliot
Revell, 2002
Inspiring follow-up to Passion and Purity
After reading "Passion and Purity" I couldn't wait to read her follow-up "Quest for Love." It was better than I expected. Her stories are touching and real. He advice is honest and straight forward. She approaches everything from a Biblical persepective, presenting undeniable truths. If you haven't read "Passion and Purity," I recommend that one first. "Quest for Love" is a fantastic book ...

No Graven Image by Elizabeth Elliot
This book is an awesome representation of missionary life. A young, unmarried, woman named Margarat is working as a Bible translator to the Quicha Indians in the mountains of Ecuador. Most of the action takes place in her mind, where she tells you about her previous ideas of missionary work. The end is astonishing and will leave you with a new view on how God works. This book makes you ...

Keep a Quiet Heart7 reviews
Elisabeth Elliot
Revell, 2004
Comfort in the Storm
I found this book about 7 years ago and have continually turned to it for comfort. I have given it as a gift over a dozen times and each reciever has found the same comfort. Perfect for a friend who cannot seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Elisabeth Elliot's approach is one of no nonsense. She tells it like it is, yet gives hope.

The Shaping Of A Christian Family4 reviews
Elisabeth Elliot
Thomas Nelson, 1996
Insights into the Blessing of a Christian home
Elisabeth Elliot's biography of the family she was raised in is a privilege to read. She includes many diary excerpts and personal letters to tell the story of her parents and grandparents, but this is more than just biography. It is the story of God's workings in the lives of a few of His faithful servants and the fruits of their labor. Elliot tells practical stories of child-rearing (such ...

Elisabeth Elliot

Wonderful
This book was awesome. I cannot say enough good things. Elisabeth Elliot is a woman of wisdom and insight. It was like having my grandmother sit me down and talk to me about the kind of man I need to be. She is a wealth of ideas, principles, and ways of Living. She has walked the walk and knows God. She was married to a great man of God. This is a must read. If you are a man...but it. If you are ...

Elisabeth Elliot
Hendrickson Publishers, 2008
Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot
Shadow of the Almighty is by far the best biography I have ever read!!! It has been said that "You will be the same today, except for the people you meet and the books you read", I have found this to be very true in my life.
I feel you can glean so many spiritual nuggets from this book. From raising kids, praying for them, allowing God to use them, the importance of eating healthy and ...

A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael14 reviews
Elisabeth Elliot
Revell, 2005
Life changing message
I have read this book twice over the last decade and each time it has given me life principles applicable to the time of life in which I read it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs an example to live by. I couldn't help but think that if God could do such things in Amy Carmichael, He could certainly do the same in me. What a challenge!

These Strange Ashes: Is God Still in Charge?8 reviews
Elisabeth Elliot
Revell, 2004
She's earned my respect
I've always thought Elisabeth Elliot was an exceptional woman. But after reading this book, I have a new found respect for her. It is easy to say God is sovereign.But when you have sacrificed the comforts of modern life and served God on his terms, you earn a whole new level of respect. This is an encouraging book. I am not a missionary, but a homeschooling mom. And this book spoke to my ...

Speaking honestly from a sensitive as well as sympathetic heart, Elisabeth Elliot candidly offers her reader a Light at the end of their tunnel. She touches on every circumstance in life that brings us to loneliness and then points us directly to the One who can ultimately and completely fill that void. I love especially the way she brings in her own struggles and experiences. This book ...

Elisabeth Elliot

A must-have devotional book!
I normally don't write reviews until I've completed the book. In this case, however, I'm so excited to recommend this book that I can't wait! In the Introduction, Elisabeth Elliot explains this book is a compilation of short articles that have appeared in her newsletter over the past 10 years or so. I've only read 7 of the 2-4 page devotionals, but each one was excellent, and 2 of those have ...

Gateway to Joy: Reflections That Draw Su Nearer to God1 review
Elisabeth Elliot
Vine Books, 1999
Beautiful Depth of Truth
Everything I have read by Elisabeth Elliot is encouraging and thought-provoking, but this is distilled beautiful wisdom. Each letter of the alphabet is given five one-page entries; for example, 'trust' has five pages, 'commit' has five, etc. Some of the entries are culled from her other writings, some are quotations of well-known Christian thinkers or of classic hymns. Each page has enough ...

God's Guidance a Slow and Certain Light2 reviews
Elisabeth Elliot
Fleming H Revell Co, 1992
A conmon-sense guide to the Christian life
This book does not contain a "magic formula" for finding God's will, but it is a valuable collection of suggestions from someone who has experienced more than the typical share of difficulties. She has said "Yes, Lord." to things that would make the average believer cringe. And her very readable advice points you time and again to the Bible, and to Biblical ways of making decisions. I have ...

Beautiful in Every Way
Now, really: why am I the first to review this? I've been searching for months now for the right Elisabeth Elliot book for me and when I finally find this gorgeous little book, it's by chance on a different website. Thank God I found it, but why is it so buried?
As the title suggests, this gem has some of Elisabeth Elliot's very best writings on various different subjects. She examines the ...

Father & Son, An Intimate Study1 review
Philip E. Howard
Family First Publications, 1999
Clarity on the subject of fatherhood in a confused society.
Although the author's prose may seem a bit disjointed today, the timeless message of this great book sounds forth with astonishing clarity in our modern culture. One has only to look as far as one's local newscast to see firsthand the tragedies that are inflicting a nation that has been repeatedly told that the role of a strong father is not necessary to the development of our children. And ...

Regal Books, 2004
Full of treasures for the reader
Elisabeth Elliot is one of my wife's favorite authors. This book has been around for a few years but it is full of short readings or meditations which reveal the wonderful truths found in the Bible. I recommend this little book to both men and women.

Elisabeth Elliot
Servant Ministries, 1987
one of e.elliot's best
the best hour i've ever spent reading a book! incredibly insightful. elliot asks great questions... what does it mean to be godly or worldly? how does a christian discern the will of God? for those of us who sometimes fall prey to legalism and merely "following the rules" of christianity, this is a must-read. short but very wise. i will read it again and again to remind myself.
