Through Gates Of Splendor: the Event That Shocked the World- Changed a People- and Inspired a Nation

I would say- without hesitation- God used this book to change my life.--Chuck SwindollIn 1956- five young men- including Elliot's husband- Jim- traveled into the jungles of Ecuador to establish communication with the fierce Huaorani Tribe- a people whose only previous response to the outside world had been to attack all strangers. The men's mission combined modern technology with innate ingenuity- sparked by a passionate determination to get the gospel to those without Christ. In a nearby village- their wives waited to hear from them. The news they received--all five missionaries had been murdered--changed lives around the world forever.Written while she was still a missionary in South America and at the request of the men's families- "Through Gates of Splendor" was Elisabeth Elliot's personal account of the final mission of these five courageous men. Filled with quotations from letters- material from personal journals- a wealth of photographs- and an epilogue update- this reprint of the original hardcover edition tells a lasting story of God's grace- unconditional love- and great courage. This story inspired the 2006 box office hit "End of the Spear "and is sure to inspire the next generation of servant believers.
