An excellent book for both men and women. Jim was truly a man seeking God and is one of my heroes.

A classic work of a life abadoned to God. I have never read a biography that so stimulated my thinking. In an age when so much teaching focuses on what we can gain, here in these pages is the heart of a man who was willing to loose all that he might gain and proclaim Christ. Even if that meant laying down his own life.

This book is a must for everyone who wants to experience God more deeply! Here is your chance to sit with Jim Elliot and to see the struggle, suffering, and sweetness of this great saint. "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot loose."
