Made for the Journey

About The Book:

In this deeply personal account of her first year as a missionary, Elisabeth Elliot shares the challenges she faced as she worked in the jungles of Ecuador to bring the Word of God to a people virtually untouched by the outside world. With fascinating detail, she captures the stark realities of life in the jungle, the difficulties she encountered while developing a written language for the tribe, and her confusion when God didn't "cooperate" with her efforts to accomplish what she believed was His will.

More than just a memoir, Made for the Journey is a beautifully crafted and deeply personal reflection on the important questions of life and a remarkable testimony to authentic Christian obedience to an unfathomable God.

My Thoughts:  First written in 2004 as "These Strange Ashes"; this book give s the account of Elizabeth Elliot's first year as a missionary.    Well written and very insightful, it gives the reader a closer glimpse of a woman who devoted her life to missions and serving God.

This is an enjoyable read and gives a comprehensive look at what a missionary can face in a foreign country.  

It's a book of encouragement to those who are thinking or looking into following God's call to taking His word out into the world.
