This Bible belonged to Christian author and speaker Elisabeth (Howard) Elliot (1926–2015), who was a missionary to the Waodäni people of Ecuador in the 1950s with her husband, Jim Elliot. Elisabeth chose to stay and live with the tribe after a Waodäni hunting party killed Jim and four other missionaries in 1956. She returned to the United States in 1963. She started using this Bible in 1940, at the age of 14, and took it with her to Ecuador. She continued to use it until 1956, the year of Jim’s death. A handwritten note in the back of the Bible reads, “On October 28, 1938, I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus as my personal Saviour. It was at Mr. Irvin A Moon’s ‘Sermons from Science’ in the Tioga Presbyterian Church, Phila, PA.”
