Elisabeth Elliot era una joven misionera en Ecuador cuando miembros de una tribu amazónica violenta atacaron brutalmente a su esposo Jim y a sus cuatro colegas. Increíblemente, en oración, Elisabeth tomó a su hija pequeña, un kit contra mordeduras de serpiente, la Biblia y su diario, y se quedó a vivir en la selva con las personas de la Edad de Piedra que mataron a su esposo. Impulsadas por su amistad y perdón, muchas personas llegaron a creer en Jesús. Esta valiente y directa cristiana siguió escribiendo docenas de libros, presentando un programa de radio de larga duración y hablando en conferencias por todo el mundo. Fue un pilar de fe coherente y comprometida; un icono querido y a veces controvertido.

En esta biografía autorizada, Los orígenes de Elisabeth Elliot, la autora más vendida Ellen Vaughn utiliza los diarios privados e inéditos de Elisabeth y entrevistas sinceras con su familia y amigos, para pintar las aventuras y desventuras que Dios usó para moldear a una de las mujeres más influyentes en la historia de la iglesia moderna. Es la historia de una persona hilarante, sensual, brillante, ingeniosa, autodepredadora, sensible, radical y sorprendentemente cercana, completamente entregada a hacer la voluntad de Dios, sin importar cuán alto sea el costo. Para Elisabeth, la pregunta central no era "¿Cómo me hace sentir esto"», sino simplemente "¿es esto verdad?". Si lo era, entonces la siguiente pregunta era "¿qué debo hacer al respecto para obedecer a Dios?"

"Mi vida está en tu altar, Señor, para que tú la consumas. ¡Enciende el fuego, Padre! Átame con cuerdas de amor al altar. Sosténme allí. Déjame recordar la Cruz." --Elisabeth Elliot, a sus 21 años.

Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband Jim and his four colleagues. Incredibly, prayerfully, Elisabeth took her toddler daughter, snakebite kit, Bible, and journal and lived in the jungle with the Stone-Age people who killed her husband. Compelled by her friendship and forgiveness, many came to faith in Jesus. This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith; a beloved and sometimes controversial icon.

In this authorized biography, Becoming Elisabeth Elliot, bestselling author Ellen Vaughn uses Elisabeth’s private, unpublished journals, and candid interviews with her family and friends, to paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history. It’s the story of a hilarious, sensual, brilliant, witty, self-deprecating, sensitive, radical, and surprisingly relatable person utterly submitted to doing God’s will, no matter how high the cost. For Elisabeth, the central question was not, "How does this make me feel?" but, simply, "is this true?" If so, then the next question was, "what do I need to do about it to obey God?"

"My life is on Thy Altar, Lord—for Thee to consume. Set the fire, Father! Bind me with cords of love to the Altar. Hold me there. Let me remember the Cross." –Elisabeth Elliot, age 21
