The Christian way of life of the author, Elizabeth Elliot inspires. He is free from all sentiments, direct and decisive. She showed us that we are on the battlefield, where the most powerful forces of the universe have come together in a fierce battle. And we, fortunately, accept this challenge, charged with the energy of the sublime vision of the church, which was characteristic of this extraordinary woman. Her life, her books are food and drink for those whose life is placed by God on the altar of sorrows.

For centuries we hear that "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church", and the blood of Jim Elliot, no doubt, was overflowing the inkpots in which Elizabeth dipped her pen. She gave us the encouraging martyr's words that inspired more than one generation of brave missionaries to carry the Gospel into the unknown depths of jungles, deserts and cities, large and small. She gives us the same words. Especially when suffering falls on us with unstoppable force.
