description: Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband Jim and his four colleagues. Incredibly prayerfully Elisabeth took her toddler daughter snakebite kit Bible and journal . . . and lived in the jungle with the Stone-Age people who killed her husband. Compelled by her friendship and forgiveness many came to faith in Jesus. This courageous no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books host a long-running radio show and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent committed faith; a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. In this authorized biography Becoming Elisabeth Elliot bestselling author Ellen Vaughn uses Elisabeths private unpublished journals and candid interviews with her family and friends to paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history. Its the story of a hilarious sensual brilliant witty self-deprecating sensitive radical and surprisingly relatable person utterly submitted to doing Gods will no matter how high the cost. For Elisabeth the central question was not How does this make me feel? but simply is this true? If so then the next question was what do I need to do about it to obey God? My life is on Thy Altar Lordfor Thee to consume. Set the fire Father! Bind me with cords of love to the Altar. Hold me there. Let me remember the Cross. Elisabeth Elliot age 21
