Through Gates of Splendor

By: Elisabeth Elliot

Narrated by: Alisa Childers

Elisabeth Elliot, beloved Christian author of Let Me Be a Woman and A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael, shares the story of five missionaries who were brutally killed in Ecuador—one of whom was her husband, Jim Elliot.

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

Be inspired by these martyrs’ powerful examples of:

• Courage to share the Gospel in the face of danger
• Trust in God
• Repaying cruelty with forgiveness

Courage to follow one's convictions

I liked Elisabeth Elliot's honest account of the realities of the development of the missionaries' efforts to reach a small group of stone age killers with the news of the eternal love of God and His offer of eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ, and what followed the killing of five.

Trusting in God’s Sovereignty

This book encourages me to trust God even when the details of life are unknown. The choices that the missionaries made to follow God’s direction even when there was potential danger to them and their families. Even when there were times of disappointment and discouragement, they freely walked forward trusting that God would lead them.

What a story!!

What an inspiring story! I never understood the whole missionary ministries to the unreached corners of the earth, but I get it now.

Well written

Captivating story that encourages and exhorts the Christian in their faith. I like how to helps you understand the talents and gifts each man had

Great book

It was great, everyone should read this book. Such a touching story, and it has changed many lives.
