Description
Through Gates of Splendor
By: Elisabeth Elliot
Five men entered the jungle in search of a savage tribe….and never returned.
In January 1956, a tragic but inspiring story broke in headlines across the world. Five young men had dared to make contact with a Stone Age tribe deep in the Jungles of Ecuador. The goal: to establish communication with a people whose only previous response to the outside world had been to attack all strangers. The men’s mission combined modern technology with innate ingenuity, sparked by a passionate determination to get the gospel to a people without Christ.
The story of Nate Saint, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming, and Jim Elliot, was first recorded in 1956 by Jim’s widow, Elisabeth. Decades later, its story of unconditional love and complete obedience to God still inspires new readers. This edition contains subsequent developments in the lives of the families and the Waodani tibe.
This edition includes two preview chapters from End of The Spear by Steve Saint (Nate Saint’s son), about his return to the jungle and the people who took his father’s life. This story is now a major motion picture.
