Elisabeth Elliot: The Brave Girl Who Chose to Love
In Elisabeth Elliot: The Brave Girl Who Chose to Love, Ellen Vaughn introduces young readers to the life and legacy of one of Christianity’s most influential missionaries.
I was most moved on its emphasis on forgiveness. Through Elisabeth’s response to the Waorani people who killed her husband, Jim Elliot, readers see a powerful picture of the forgiveness and love that Jesus extends to sinners.
Forgiveness and Frontier Missions
I appreciated how this book celebrates the work of women in God’s kingdom, showcasing Elisabeth as a pioneering frontier missionary, author, and teacher. It concludes by sharing how she wrote more than 40 books and taught people around the world about trusting God, even when life is incredibly difficult.
As Isaiah 43:2 reminds us, God is with His people through every trial. Elisabeth Elliot’s story is a compelling example of that truth and an inspiring introduction to a remarkable woman of faith.
