Made for the Journey: One Missionary's First Year in the Jungles of Ecuador
by Elisabeth Elliot
In this deeply personal account of her first year as a missionary, Elisabeth Elliot shares the challenges she faced as she worked in the jungles of Ecuador to bring the Word of God to a people virtually untouched by the outside world. With fascinating detail, she captures the stark realities of life in the jungle, the difficulties she encountered while developing a written language for the tribe, and her confusion when God didn't "cooperate" with her efforts to accomplish what she believed was His will. More than just a memoir, Made for the Journey is a beautifully crafted and deeply personal reflection on the important questions of life and a remarkable testimony to authentic Christian obedience to an unfathomable God. |
Here's my review of this amazing memoir:
First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Elisabeth Elliott and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Made For The Journey" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.
“Made for the Journey” by Elisabeth Elliott is a touching, insightful memoir of a well-known servant of God. Elisabeth Elliott beautifully chronicles her first year as a missionary in Ecuador. She details the disappointments and the victories, setbacks and encouragement of serving a faithful God Who never fails to meet needs and always exceeds expectations.
This is a sweet book
and en encouraging read for every Christ-follower. You will walk away with the understanding that you were made for the journey you are walking with Jesus.
