Summary
An In-Depth Biography on the Life and Work of Missionary Elisabeth Elliot
Elisabeth Elliot (1926–2015) is one of the most widely known Christians of the 20th and 21st centuries. After the death of her husband, Jim, and 4 other missionaries at the hands of Waorani tribesmen in Ecuador, Elliot famously returned to live among the same people who had killed her husband. Her legacy, however, extends far beyond these events. In the years that followed, Elliot became a prolific writer and speaker, touching the lives of countless people around the world.
In this single-volume biography, Lucy S. R. Austen takes listeners on an in-depth journey through the life of Elisabeth Elliot—her birth to missionary parents, her courtship and marriage to Jim Elliot, her missions work in Ecuador, and her private life and public work after she returned to the United States. Through Elliot's example of love for God and obedience to his commands, listeners will ponder what it means to follow Jesus.

I don't usually listen to biographies that are really long but this was superb and it kept my interest thru then entire 20+ hours of listening. Elizabeth Elliott is so much more than the missionary widow who's husband was killed on mission. In this biography she becomes a real human with real faults and fears. The reader brings her to life authentically and you feel like you are watching her grow from a sheltered and very strict fundamentalist through her maturation as a woman, a wife, a mother, missionary, and a Christian. The author quotes her almost too often but it is easy to recognize not like many biographical audiobooks where you can't tell her exact words. You can hear even her voice mature in her quotes as she goes from girlish meanderings in her journals to honest and sometimes painful searching. I think it is sometimes harsh in the author's brutal honesty, but it made Elizabeth Elliott the more real and human. All that to say I enjoyed this audiobook immensely!
