Summary

The unforgettable true story of five men who braved Auca lances. This edition includes a follow-up chapter that will give listenerss a unique perspective. Five men entered the jungle in search of a savage tribe . . . and never returned.

In January 1956, a tragic story flooded headlines around the world. Five men, spurred by a passion to share the good news of Jesus Christ, ventured deep into the jungles of Ecuador. Their goal: to make contact with an isolated tribe whose previous response to the outside world had been to attack all strangers.

Through Gates of Splendor, 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 tribe.

Helped my faith

Delightfully balanced, un-hero-culture ending. Stirred me into wanting to be zealous for Jesus. Our whole lives are his.

Very interesting book

I loved it. The narrators voice was a little annoying at first but you get used to it. lovely insight into Jim Eliott and the other missionaries work through the eyes of his wife, Elizabeth. Great gem.

What a story!?

Really great to get the backstory and understand the individuals involved in this notable story of going to such ends to reach the unreached for the gospel! A great story and is brought together well by Elisabeth Elliot.
