Elisabeth Elliot: A Life (Lucy S. R. Austen)
$25.99An In-Depth Biography on the Life and Work of Missionary Elisabeth Elliot
Elisabeth Elliot (1926–2015) is one of the most widely known Christians of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. After the death of her husband, Jim, and four other missionaries at the hands of Waorani tribesmen in Ecuador, Elliot famously returned to live among the same people who had killed her husband. Her legacy, however, extends far beyond these events. In the years that followed, Elliot became a prolific writer and speaker, touching the lives of countless people around the world.
In this single-volume biography, Lucy S. R. Austen takes readers on an in-depth journey through the life of Elisabeth Elliot—her birth to missionary parents, her courtship and marriage to Jim Elliot, her missions work in Ecuador, and her private life and public work after she returned to the United States. Through Elliot’s example of love for God and obedience to his commands, readers will ponder what it means to follow Jesus.

Jim Elliot: He Is No Fool (Irene Howart)
$9.99Jim Elliot had a loving wife, a beautiful little girl, and a reason for real joy. God had called him to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the Auca Indians. The love of Christ not only thrilled him,but gave him peace. Jim would spend the rest of his life bringing Jesus to the lost Aucas … but the rest of Jim’s life was only a matter of months. Persecution and death are a reality for many Christians today. Jim Elliot and four other young men died in the middle of doing God’s work. The very people they had come to rescue came out against them with machetes and clubs. But Jim had realized for quite some time what serving God really meant. There is nothing that is worth more than Jesus – not even your life. ‘He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.’ This is the story of Jim’s love for a fighting people and of his fight for a loving God. When his life ended, the work went on and many of the Auca Indians today have the same reason that Jim Elliot had for real joy.

Pilipinto: The Jungle Adventures of a Missionary’s Daughter (Valerie Elliot Shepard)
$16.95In 1956, Valerie’s young missionary father, Jim Elliot, and four of his friends make contact with members of a primitive Ecuadorian tribe. What happens next shocks the world! Three years later . . . Valerie is just a toddler when her mother, Elisabeth Elliot, receives a surprising invitation. As she teaches the Waorani about God’s “carvings,” they encounter the greatest gift of all.
Pilipinto is an amazing story of courage and redemption—but it is also the simple story of a young American girl as she grows up alongside the indigenous peoples of the 1950s Amazon jungle. The jungle, despite its dangers, becomes a delightful playground where Valerie learns to trust God’s hand and respect all His gifts.
Beautifully illustrated in watercolor and featuring vintage photographs and never before published pages from Elisabeth Elliot’s diary, Pilipinto is a child-appropriate introduction to several notable Christian heroes and heroines of the twentieth century—powerful models of faith who take selfless action for the kingdom of God.

Nate Saint: Operation Auca
$8.99Nate Saint peered eagerly over the edge of his brother Sam’s biplane, named Challenger. His heart thumped against his ribs in anticipation of takeoff. It was Nate’s first flight, but it would be one of many that would eventually take him into the jungles of Ecuador to bring the truth of God’s Word to the elusive Auca tribe.
On January 8, 1956, Nate and other missionaries landed on a strip of sand that they had named Palm Beach. This was Nate’s final flight — for he and the other missionaries on the plane were martyred that very day, when Auca tribesmen attacked them with spears. However, the work of evangelism continued. Many heard Nate’s story and became missionaries. Others heard God’s Word and began to follow Christ, even including several of the Auca men who had, with their spears, murdered the first missionaries who came to them on that terrible day! A story of God’s remarkable work going on, when all hope seems lost.

Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ’s Control (Elisabeth Elliot)
$12.50Can deep passion for someone of the opposite sex be held within a pure heart? Elisabeth Elliot says “yes”, and proves it from her own experience. Perhaps no other book shows so candidly how Christ has given singles sufficient grace to walk with Him in matters of the heart and its yearnings for satisfaction with a partner. If you want to teach young people how commitment to God takes priority over even the most intense love, or your teenager says “I can’t control my feelings!”, this is the book for you.
In Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot emphasizes the need to commit daily to Christ all matters of the heart and to wait upon Him. She teaches this often painful yet rewarding discipline by candidly tracing her love story with Jim Elliot as evidence that she has been there.
Through letters, diary entries, and memories, she shares the temptations, difficulties, victories, and sacrifices of two young people whose commitment to Christ took priority over their love for each other. These revealing personal glimpses, combined with relevant biblical teaching, will remind you that only by putting your human passion and desire through His fire can God purify your love.
