that's exactly what Elisabeth Elliot calls us to do.
Using the title of one of her favorite hymns as her unifying theme,
Elliot offers an inspiring collection of reflections on living the
Christian life. Illustrating biblical concepts with her rich
personal experiences as a missionary, mother, wife, widow, radio

clarity and elegance on topics at once timeless and timely. This
lovely new repackaged edition is perfect for the busy times in
