Through Gates of Splendour

FIFTY YEARS AGO THE WORLD WAS
STUNNED BY A SHOCKING EVENT

...Mary was standing with her head against the radio, her eyes closed. After a while she spoke "they found one body..."

Missionary history will never let us forget the five young American men savagely martyred by Auca Indians in the jungles of Ecuador as they attempted to read them with the Word of God.

Elisabeth Elliot, widow of one of these men, records here the story of their courage and devotion to Christ in face of danger and difficulty.

The challenge of their expendability for God continues as strong today as it was at the time of their deaths in 1956.

ELISABETH ELLIOT is an admired speaker and bestselling author of dozens of books, including The Shadow of the Almighty and Passion and Purity. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, Lars Gren.
