Their paths to God’s purpose led them together. Many know the heroic story of Jim Elliot’s violent death in 1956, killed along with four other missionaries by a primitive Ecuadorian tribe they were seeking to reach. Many also know the prolific legacy of Elisabeth Elliot, whose inspiring influence on generations of believers through print, broadcast, and personal testimony continues to resonate, even after her own death in 2015. What many don’t know is the remarkable story of how these two stalwart personalities—single-mindedly devoted to pursuing God’s will for their young lives, certain their future callings would require them to sacrifice forever the blessings of marriage—found...
Valerie Elliot shares her memories of growing up in the Amazon jungle in Ecuador with members of the Quichua and Auca Indian tribes. The villagers called her "Pilipinto," which means "butterfly" because of the way she used to flit around the village. Learn about Valerie's experiences with native children and share in her descriptions of unusual plants and animals.
Lives at Risk identifies 20 myths about health care as delivered in countries that have national health insurance. These myths have gained the status of fact in both the United States and abroad, even though the evidence shows a far different reality. The authors also explore the political and economic climate of the health care system and offer alternatives to the current health care public policies.
In 1956, Valerie's young missionary father, Jim Elliot, and four other men were speared to death by members of a remote Ecuadorian tribe. But the good news of the gospel did not die with them. When Valerie was just a toddler, she and her mother, Elisabeth, moved to live with that very tribe--showing the unconditional love of Christ so that the gospel could work in powerful and transformative ways. Pilipinto is an amazing story of courage and redemption--but it is also the simple story of a young American girl who grew up alongside the indigenous people of the 1950s Amazon jungle. That jungle, despite its dangers, became a delightful playground where Valerie learned to trust God's hand and respect all his gifts. Beautifully illustrated, Pilipinto is a child-appropriate introduction to several Christian heroes and heroines--powerful models in the faith who demonstrated reckless abandon for the kingdom of God.

“In order to learn what it means to be a woman, we must start with the One who made her.” Working from Scripture, well-known speaker and author Elisabeth Elliot shares her observations and experiences in a number of essays on what it means to be a Christian woman, whether single, married, or widowed. Available in trade softcover and as a Living Book.
Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband Jim and his four colleagues. Incredibly, prayerfully, Elisabeth took her toddler daughter, snakebite kit, Bible, and journal . . . and lived in the jungle with the Stone-Age people who killed her husband. Compelled by her friendship and forgiveness, many came to faith in Jesus. This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith; a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. In this authorized biography, Becoming Elisabeth Elliot, b...
The way we are governed is changing; so is our economy. Government has less and less power to influence how we live our lives, while the private sector has more power than ever to control what we do and what we think. Yet the business pages of the newspapers still come as a supplement, while the activities of governments dominate the front pages and the headlines. To understand the new world in which we are living, we need to learn to challenge long-held assumptions about the nature of power in society; The Silent Takeover is an essential guide to that new understanding as we progress through the 21st century: a time in which we can no longer rely on politicians - of whatever stripe - to meet our needs; a time in which business, rather than political parties, offers the way forward; a time in which we can make more of an impact through our pockets than we have ever done through the ballot box. In the wake of an economic recession, Hertz's eye-opening book reveals much about early 21st century politics and its effects on society.
