Elisabeth Elliot Shows Young Readers What It Looks Like to Grow as a Follower of Christ
Elisabeth Elliot longed from an early age to know and do the will of God. After just five-and-a-half years as a missionary, Elisabeth faced the tragic death of her husband. But she never wavered in her commitment to obey Jesus, and soon she found herself living with her little girl among the people responsible for her husband’s death.
This short and lively biography invites middle-grade readers to explore Elliot’s extraordinary life, highlighting her upbringing in a quiet American suburb, her desire to discover God’s will for her life, and her work in missions, writing, and speaking. Her story shows readers one way that it looks to grow over a lifetime of following Jesus. Featuring illustrations, maps, timelines, bonus sidebars, and study questions, this addition to the Lives of Faith and Grace series engages kids ages 8–13 in the drama of history, showing how God worked in the past through ordinary people like them.
