Books like Jim Elliot by Renee Meloche

Elisabeth Elliot recounts the life and martyrdom of missionary Jim Elliot, whose faith-driven service in the 1950s led to his death among the Huaorani of Ecuador.

This book tells the thrilling story of a man whose missionary influence is still felt today. Jim Elliot, a modern martyr, gained international recognition when he died with four others at the hands of the Auca Indians. His story and memoirs have become a source of missionary inspiration through the writing and speaking of his wife, Elisabeth. As a young American graduating from Wheaton College, he quickly discovered a vocation in the missionary life. The field he chose was the unexplored frontiers of Ecuador in Latin America. Not content with bringing the Gospel to the civilized people of the country, he and his four companions flew their Piper plane over the lands of the savage Auca tribe. Their first landing meant a tragic massacre, but out of that seemingly senseless tragedy comes a powerful testimony of the call of God on one man's life. - Back cover.
