The content of Jim Elliot is directly relevant to all Christians.

Young Christians - from junior high through college - and new Christians of any age will benefit from the understanding gained from Jim's discussions on "Spiritual Desire" and "The Effects of Sin in the Christian."

Those with an interest in the history of missions or current missions will find the book riveting.

All Christians will appreciate Jim's straightforward, hard-hitting style of speaking. His messages on "Peter" and "God's Prophet" are rich and thought-provoking.

International award-winning author Robert Lloyd Russell transcribed and edited these messages from an old wire recorder - a forerunner to the magnetic tape recorder. As a young boy he lived for a time in the Elliot home with Jim and his family. Jim's father was one of his spiritual mentors.

Russell is also the author of the "Christian Concepts Series." 




Background

In early 1956 Christian missionaries Roger Youderian, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming, and Jim Elliot lost their lives on "Palm Beach" on the banks of the Curaray River in a steamy jungle in Ecuador. They were brutally killed by an unreached tribe they had worked long and hard to reach with God's love.

Many thousands of individuals have come to know Christ in a personal and living way and thousands of others have altered the direction of their lives as a result of the shocking massacre and the many articles and books written about it. Even the Auca Indians who thrust those fatal spears have seen a significant portion of their number come to know Jesus Christ.

Content

This unique book contains transcripts of four messages given by Jim Elliot before leaving for the mission field. 

The first two messages are hard-hitting straightforward talks to seventh and eighth-grade students.  The first is about "Spiritual Desire" including its nature and how to increase it. The second discusses "The Effects of Sin in a Christian." 

The third message, entitled "Peter," is an exposition of 1 Peter 1:3. 

The fourth, "God's Prophet," traces the concept and role of a prophet, with the primary focus being Jesus Christ, the Father's ultimate Prophet.
