    Em fevereiro de 1952, cinco missionários enfrentam o desafio de levar o evangelho às tribos indígenas nas florestas do leste do Equador. Seu alvo principal era os Auca, a tribo mais resistente ao contato com os missionários, devido à história de violência e opressão por parte do invasor branco. Seria possível levar uma mensagem de perdão e reconciliação a tal povo? Os missionários acabam sendo assassinados pelos indígenas, gerando questionamentos que ainda hoje são debatidos. Nesses tempos em que o objetivo maior das pessoas parece muitas vezes limitar-se a um cristianismo confortável, essa história nos faz pensar no próprio sentido da vida e da morte, da fé genuína e da entrega irrestrita aos propósitos de Deus.

    Emocionante, inspirador, polêmico e admirável.

    É EMOCIONANTE ler sobre a história destes cinco missionários (Roger Youderian, Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming e Ed McCully) que escolheram dedicar-se totalmente a levar o ensino do Evangelho para populações remotas, com o leitor sabendo que esta missão resultou no assassinato trágico dos cinco missionários. È INSPIRADOR porque mostra a força e a determinação de pessoas que tem como propósito de vida servir a Deus de todas as formas possíveis. É POLÊMICO porque eles, mesmo sabendo que a tribo Auca era hostil a aproximação de qualquer pessoa de fora da tribo ao ponto de cometerem verdadeiras atrocidades com aqueles que eles identificassem como inimigos, foram tentar estabelecer contato. Eu, como um ser ignorante e que está tentando evoluir espiritualmente, não consigo entender esta decisão de estabelecer contato com esta tribo estando ciente do histórico de violência deles. A expectativa de morte era praticamente certa. Certamente me falta sabedoria e fé inabalável para compreender tais desígnios. É ADMIRÁVEL porque, mesmo após a morte dos seus maridos, as viúvas permaneceram realizando o trabalho junto aos povos indígenas, inclusive com os próprios Auca. Sem palavras para descrever tanta evolução espiritual por parte delas e de suas famílias. Como a autora se baseou em diários e cartas para escrever o livro, os relatos ficaram realistas, dando a impressão que assistíamos cada parte da história como se fosse um filme. Fiquei emocionada em vários momentos da leitura. Imagino o quão difícil deve ter sido para ela realizar este trabalho. Afinal, uma das vitimas é seu marido. Recomendo a leitura.

    Elisabeth Elliot

    lisabeth Elliot was born Elisabeth Howard in Brussels, Belgium on December 21, 1926,[2] and her family included her missionary parents, four brothers, and one sister. Elisabeth's brothers, Thomas Howard and David Howard, are also authors.[citation needed] Her family moved to the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the U.S. when she was a few months old.[3] In addition to Philadelphia, she lived in Franconia, New Hampshire and Moorestown, New Jersey. She studied Classical Greek at Wheaton College, believing that it was the best tool to help her with the calling of ultimately translating the New Testament of the Bible into an unknown language. It was at Wheaton where she met Jim Elliot. Before their marriage, Elisabeth took a post-graduate year of specialized studies at Prairie Bible Institute in Alberta, Canada, where a campus prayer chapel was later named in her honor. Jim Elliot and Elisabeth Howard went individually to Ecuador to work with the Quichua (or Quechua) Indians; the two married in 1953 in the city of Quito, Ecuador. In January 1956, her husband Jim was speared to death along with four of his missionary friends while attempting to contact the Huaorani tribe. Their daughter, Valerie (born February 27, 1955), was 10 months old when her father was killed. Elisabeth continued her work with the Quechua for two more years.[citation needed] Two Huaorani women living among the Quichua, including one named Dayuma, taught the Huao language to Mrs. Elliot and fellow missionary Rachel Saint. When Dayuma returned to the Huaorani, she created an opening for contact by the missionaries. In October 1958, Mrs. Elliot went to live with the Huaorani with her three-year-old daughter Valerie and with Rachel Saint.[citation needed] The Auca/Huaorani gave Elisabeth the tribal name Gikari, Huao for "Woodpecker." She later returned to the Quichua and worked with them until 1963, when she and Valerie returned to the US (Franconia, New Hampshire).[citation needed] In 1969, Elisabeth married Addison Leitch, professor of theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. Leitch died in 1973. In the fall of 1974, she became an adjunct professor on the faculty of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and for several years taught a popular course entitled "Christian Expression." In 1977, she married Lars Gren, a hospital chaplain. The Grens later worked and traveled together.[citation needed] In the mid-1970s, she served as one of the stylistic consultants for the committee of the New International Version of the Bible (NIV). She appears on the NIV's list of contributors.[4] In 1981, Mrs. Gren was appointed writer-in-residence at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts.[citation needed] From 1988 to 2001, Elisabeth could be heard on a daily radio program, Gateway to Joy,[5] produced by the Good News Broadcasting Association of Lincoln, Nebraska. She almost always opened the program with the phrase, "'You are loved with an everlasting love,' – that's what the Bible says – 'and underneath are the everlasting arms.' This is your friend, Elisabeth Elliot..."[6] Today re-runs of the program may be heard over the Bible Broadcasting Network. In her later years, she and her third husband stopped traveling, but continued to keep in touch with the public through email and their website.[citation needed] Elisabeth Elliot died in Magnolia, Massachusetts on June 15, 2015, at the age of 88.[2] Shortly after her death, Steve Saint, the son of Nate Saint who was killed alongside Elliot's first husband, posted on Facebook about her final victory over "the loss of her mind to dementia" and "her ten year battle with the disease which robbed her of her greatest gift."[7][8] She was interred at Hamilton Cemetery in Hamilton, Massachusetts.[9] She was survived by her third husband, Lars Gren, a daughter, Valerie Elliot Shepard and husband Walter, and eight grandchildren.
