About this ebook
The true story of five young twentieth-century martyrs.
In 1956, five young men traveled deep into the jungles of Ecuador to establish communication and share the gospel with the fierce and isolated Waorani tribe. In nearby villages, their wives huddled around radio receivers, eagerly awaiting news of the historic encounter. The news they received sent shock waves around the world and changed their lives forever.
Beautifully told through the eyes of Elisabeth Elliot, in partnership with the other four missionaries’ wives, and featuring original diary entries and photos, Through Gates of Splendor is a timeless classic, a harrowing story of self-sacrifice, and a powerful wake-up call to anyone pondering the call to follow Christ…. wherever he may lead.

If it weren't for the last third of the book, I would have only given it only four stars out of respect for E. Elliot's beautiful legacy of faith. The "setup" read pretty slow to me, but was totally saved by the last third and epilogues. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised by this as she mentions it was her first book. The second epilogue was pure instructional gold, and I was really captivated and challenged by her sobering words about God's right to have Providence and our need to be humble in the midst of it. Thank God for this story and the countless it has touched, even 60 years later!
