Through the Gates of Splendor
In January of 1956, five missionaries ventured deep into the jungles of Ecuador to share the good news of Jesus Christ with an isolated tribe. The men never returned; they were murdered by the tribe. One of the missionary's widows, Elisabeth Elliot, wrote this powerful book that tells the story of Nate Saint, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming, and Jim Elliot: five brave men whose unconditional love and obedience to God continues to inspire readers. This best-seller contains black and white photos of the missionaries, their families, and the tribes they encountered. Also included are epilogues with updates and photos of the missionary families through the years. 296 pgs, pb. ~ Lisa

Missionary stories are important to us
I want my daughter to read Through the Gates of Splendor because it is an inspirational story of courage, love and faithfulness.
I've heard from many how amazing this book and her story is.
