"No es un necio el que da la que no puede retener para conseguir lo que no puede perder". - Jim Elliot Jim y Pete se dieron media vuelta y vieron a los aucas blandiendo sus mortíferas lanzas, corriendo detrás de Nate, Ed y Roger. Jim permaneció al borde del río con la mano en la pistola. ¿Debía defenderse? Conocía la respuesta de antemano.

Décadas más tarde, aquel dramático acontecimiento sigue desafiando e inspirando a innumerables personas a seguir su ejemplo. (1927-1956)

Las mandíbulas del león se aferraron al brazo de David Livingstone. Los afiladísimos dientes de la fiera se clavaron en su carne cuando el león sacudió a David sin piedad como una muñeca de trapo. Se oyó un disparo. "Dios ayúdanos", gimió David. Entonces, el león lo soltóy amordazó a su compañero Mebalwe. Con el corazón de un explorador y la pasión de un evangelista, David Livingstone describió vastas e inexploradas regiones de África y compartió el evangelio con aquellos que encontró en su camino. Su resistencia, perseverancia y obstinada determinación dejó el gran legado de un explorador pionero movido por un hambre insaciable de dar a conocer a Cristo en cualquier lugar donde dirigió sus pasos. Las cautivadoras aventuras de David Livingstone y su celo incansable siguen inspirando a innumerables hombres y mujeres a llevar el mensaje del evangelio del amor de Dios a las almas que aún no lo han oído.

From his earliest childhood, C.S. Lewis loved to hear and tell stories. Persuaded that stories could reveal the truth about the real world in a unique way, the literature professor would write more than thirty books, including science fiction, theology, literary criticism, and fantasy. In an era marked by two world wars, Lewis attacked tough questions about life and faith headfirst. Convinced that the story of Jesus Christ is the truest of all stories, and known for searching out the truth with honesty, clarity, and imagination, the former atheist would become one of the most influential Christians of the twentieth century. (1898 -1963)
