Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot by Elisabeth Elliot
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the biography of Jim Elliot written by Elisabeth Elliot. It covers much of the same material as “Through Gates of Splendor” but gives much more background from Jim Elliot’s perspective. She drew on her personal knowledge and Jim’s journals to put this book together.
Jim Elliot and his missionary companions willingly laid down their lives for the spread of the Gospel in Ecuador among the Auca (Waorani) tribesmen. This account is gripping and powerfully moving. You should put it on the top of your list if you haven’t read it.
