Faith, mission, and forgiveness in Ecuador

Elisabeth Elliot recounts the 1956 mission of five evangelists who went into the Ecuadorian jungle to make contact with the isolated Waorani people. The account also attends to the missionaries’ wives, who wait for news by radio in a nearby village. The events bring together the risks of missionary work and the personal consequences for those connected to it, with courage, trust in God, and forgiveness named as central themes. Jim Elliot, the author’s husband, was among the five men.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian missionary history and accounts of faith under danger.
  • Those seeking a narrative centered on the missionaries’ families as well as the mission itself.
  • Readers interested in themes of courage, trust in God, and forgiveness.

Book overview

The unforgettable true story of five evangelists who sacrificed everything for their faith.

Elisabeth Elliot, beloved Christian author of Let Me Be a Woman and A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael, shares the story of five missionaries who were brutally killed in Ecuador--one of whom was her husband, Jim Elliot.

In 1956, five young men traveled deep into the jungles to establish communication with the fierce and isolated Waorani tribe. In a nearby village, their wives huddled around a radio receiver, eagerly awaiting news of the historic encounter. The news they received sent shock waves around the world and changed their lives forever.

Be inspired by these martyrs' powerful examples of:

  • Courage to share the Gospel in the face of danger
  • Trust in God
  • Repaying cruelty with forgiveness

"Through Gates of Splendor is a powerful wake-up call to all who may feel reluctant about serving Christ.... God used this book to change my life." - Chuck Swindoll
