This book was written by Christian author and speaker Elisabeth 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. The writings of Elisabeth Elliot have been published worldwide and in multiple languages. Many of her books have been reprinted for younger generations as her words continue to reach those who search for joy amid loss.

Notes: [1] This was likely an author’s copy given to Elisabeth Elliot by the publishers. She then gave it to her aunt, Alice Howard. An inscription on the front flyleaf reads, “For my aunt, Alice G. Howard, with much love from the author—Betty! Elisabeth Elliot.” [2] Considering the book was in Elisabeth’s possession at the time of her death, it is likely the book was returned to her after the death of her aunt, Alice Howard.
