In this deeply personal account of her first year as a missionary,
Elisabeth Elliot shares what it was like to work in the jungles of
Ecuador with a small group of women, bringing the Word of God to the
indigenous tribe that martyred her husband. With fascinating detail, she
captures the stark realities of life among these complex people and
reflects upon the "strange ashes" that can result when an act of
obedience is passed through the fires of God's perfect--yet
mysterious--will.
These Strange Ashes is more than a remarkable sharing of a year in the
life of a Christian missionary; it is a reflection on the great
questions of life and a memorable testimony to the realities of
authentic Christian commitment. First published nearly 40 years ago,
this classic is sure to inspire a new generation to find and follow
God's will--wherever it leads them.
