"Love means self-giving. Self-giving means sacrifice," Elisabeth Elliot observes in this award-winning classic that still speaks as powerfully and freshly to us today as it did when it was first published. In fact, in our age of self-focus, we may need the message that Elliot spoke, wrote, and lived more than ever.
Through a series of engaging essays on such diverse topics as personality, prayer, femininity, forgiveness, motherhood, animals, frustration, and the light conquering the darkness, Elliot shows us what it means to live a life fully given to Christ. Depicting everyday encounters and events, these essays help us see meaning in both the mundane and the miraculous. From a hospital in Georgia to a mission station in the Andes, from a seminary in Massachusetts to a secluded house in Jamaica, you'll discover the power of simple faith in the stuff of everyday living.
This timeless spiritual perspective on the value of being a woman, wife, mother, and follower of Jesus from a beloved author is perfect for devotional reading or any time you need a reminder that God is good, you are redeemed, and the trials you face will be worth it in the end.
