Elisabeth Elliot (1926-2015) was a missionary whose first husband, Jim Elliot, was killed during an attempt to bring the gospel to the Auca (now Huaorani) tribe of Eastern Ecuador. In an act of forgiveness and courage, Elisabeth returned to that tribe as a missionary two years later. When she came back to the US, she spent decades speaking and telling her story, in addition to writing over 20 books. Her books explore topics like God’s love and mercy, persevering through suffering, and embracing God’s purpose for your life.
