Elisabeth Elliot

Through Gates of Splendor

The unforgettable true story of five evangelists who sacrificed everything for their faith.

Elisabeth Elliot, beloved Christian author of Let Me Be a Woman and A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael, shares the story of five missionaries who were brutally killed in Ecuador—one of whom was her husband, Jim Elliot.

In 1956, five young men traveled deep into the jungles to establish communication with the fierce and isolated Waorani tribe. In a nearby village, their wives huddled around a radio receiver, eagerly awaiting news of the historic encounter. The news they received sent shock waves around the world and changed their lives forever.

Be inspired by these martyrs' powerful examples of:

— Courage to share the Gospel in the face of danger
— Trust in God
— Repaying cruelty with forgiveness
«Through Gates of Splendor is a powerful wake-up call to all who may feel reluctant about serving Christ…. God used this book to change my life.» — Chuck Swindoll

Quotes

  • Pamela Vivanco Gacitúahas quoted4 years ago
    Lord has done what I wanted Him to do this week. I wanted, primarily, peace about going into pioneer Indian work. And as I analyze my feelings now, I feel quite at ease about saying that tribal work in South American jungles is the general direction of my missionary purpose. One more thing: I am quite confident that God wants me to begin jungle work single. Those are good-sized issues to get settled finally in a week, but just now I am happy about them.
  • Pamela Vivanco Gacitúahas quoted4 years ago
    ask for something—a little thing, perhaps, and something answers. Maybe it’s only me, but something answers, and makes the request sound so funny that I laugh at myself and feel that He is smiling with me. I’ve noticed it several times lately, we two making fun of my ‘other self’ who does so hate to be laughed at!”
