A dynamic scholar athlete.
A committed Christian.
A life of courageous service.
Meet Jim Elliot: Passion and Purpose.
This young Oregonian was a student of Greek, a college wrestling
champion, and an outstanding speaker—a man with a burning passion
to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jim Elliot’s aspirations took him to the unreached—and seemingly
unreachable—Auca tribe in the jungles of Ecuador. When the
primitive people attacked and killed Elliot and his four
companions, it appeared their mission had failed. But in time, God
would use the men’s sacrifice to bring many Aucas to faith—and
encourage other Americans to go to other mission fields.
His dramatic story will challenge you to follow the apostle Paul’s
words in Romans 12:1:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable service.
This easy-reading, novelized biography details Jim Elliot’s life
and ministry, and the sacrifices he made in commitment to God.
You’ll be inspired to follow his example, as he followed the
example of Christ. . .pursuing His passion and purpose in all you
do.
