Product Description
For these five missionary martyrs, Death was not the end. It was the beginning.
In 1956, five young missionaries were brutally killed on a remote riverbank in Ecuador, their deaths shocking the world and redefining the meaning of Christian obedience. One of those men was Jim Elliot—the husband of Elisabeth Elliot. As the news crackled over a radio to the wives waiting nearby, a story of devastating loss began that would ultimately become one of the most enduring testimonies of faith, forgiveness, and surrender in modern Christian history.
Elisabeth Elliot went on to tell this story with clarity, restraint, and deep spiritual conviction, inviting readers to look unflinchingly at the cost of following Christ. Her writing does not sentimentalize martyrdom, but instead anchors suffering in the sovereignty and goodness of God, challenging believers to trust Him even when obedience leads to profound loss. Through her firsthand account of the Ecuador mission and its aftermath, readers encounter a faith refined by grief and sustained by eternal hope.
