I received a copy of
MADE FOR THE JOURNEY: ONE MISSIONARY’S FIRST YEAR IN THE JUNGLES OF ECUADOR by
Elisabeth Elliot. The foreword is by Kay
Warren. The copy is from Revell in
exchange for an honest review.
I found this book
fascinating. Missionaries have always
interested me. I’m awed by their
character, their strengths, how they open their hearts to the world. This autobiography is told with knowledge,
wit, and heart. The world she describes
is brought to life. I loved all of the
descriptions. You really felt like you
were there. The descriptions were my
favorite part of the book.
I imagined myself
walking into a coffee shop and seeing the author sitting alone at a table,
smiling out the window. I sit beside her
and we strike up a conversation. I
imagined this book to be that conversation.
Her tone in the chapters is always light, never preachy or dry.
She has earned my
respect by her deeds and her writing.
