Book Description
Forty years ago the world was shocked by the news that Auca Indians martyred Jim Elliot and four other American missionaries in the jungles of Ecuador. That was the first chapter of one of the most breathtaking stories of the twentieth century. The Savage My Kinsman tells the story in text and pictures of Elisabeth Elliot's venture into Auca territory to live with the same Indians who killed her husband. With her three-year-old daughter and the sister of one of the murdered missionaries, Elisabeth Elliot courageously evangelized the Aucas, introducing her husband's slayers to Christ. This special fortieth-anniversary edition carries an epilogue in which she recounts the exciting events of another memorable visit in 1996.

Savage, My Kinsman FROM THE PUBLISHER In January of 1956, the world recoiled in shock with the news. Five American missionaries had been speared to death in the Ecuadorian jungles by Auca Indians-reportedly the most savage tribe on earth. Years later, it became clear that what had seemed to be the tragic ending of those missionaries' dreams was only the first chapter of one of the most breathtaking missionary stories of the twentieth century. The Savage, My Kinsman tells the story, in text and pictures, of Elisabeth Elliot's venture into Auca territory three years after the death of her husband, Jim Elliot. Elisabeth and her daughter Valerie, then three years old, returned to the jungle along with Rachel Saint, the sister of one of the other slain men. The linguistic work of these women brought Christ's message of salvation to the tribe that had killed their loved ones. They became the first to enter Auca territory-and live to tell the story.
