The Liberty of Obedience

For a whole year Elisabeth Elliot watched and learned and had nothing to say. She was living among the Auca Indians of Ecuador-the same tribe that had killed her husband, Jim Elliot-and she did not know the language. This year of observation and enforced silence stripped her of everything but the barest of essentials and the simplest of truths. In this book Elisabeth Elliot calls on us to examine more closely our own obedience to God, measuring it in terms of our experience of His freedom, grace and love.
