Book Description: In her first year as a missionary to a small group of native women in the Ecuadorian jungle, Elisabeth Elliot faced physical and spiritual trials. In Made for the Journey, Elliot captures the mysteries and stark realities surrounding the colorful and primitive world in which she ministered. More than just a recounting of her early days, this is a beautifully crafted and deeply personal reflection on the important questions of life and a remarkable testimony to authentic Christian obedience to God.
My Thoughts: Elisabeth Elliot has long been a hero of faith for me.
When I was in third grade I read Through the Gates of Splendor. This book opened up a whole new world for me. I began to understand that some people gave up "things" in their lives to reach people who may never hear the Word of God.
Made for the Journey is Elisabeth Elliot's story/recounting of her early days in the jungles of Ecuador.
Even though they were all young missionaries the road (literally) was not always easy. And then there was the language barrier too.
Elisabeth Elliot brings out some "uneasy" questions that make the reader think.
This is one missionary book that everyone should read.
What a story. What a testimony!
And this is not an expensive book nor is it long, only 176 pages, but it will transform your thinking.
