Discuss Containing Books These Strange Ashes

Elisabeth Elliot is one of my very favorite authors and I really loved reading this book where she shares openly of her first year as a missionary ministering to the Colorado Indians in Ecuador, before she was married.I really loved this book. As Mrs. Elliot shares of her experiences of her first year as a missionary, she shares her struggles and triumphs, mistakes and failures and this book was very encouraging and eye-opening. This is definitely one of my favorite books. It's very amazing,

This is an inspiring book, is is full of so many nuggets of wisdom, as well as an intriguing tale of a year of Elisabeth Elliots life, while she was single and working to form a written language of the Colorado Indians in the Ecuadorian Jungle. I kept a little notebook beside me as I read so I could write down thoughts and quotes.I found it amazing that Elizabeth had problems so similar to myself, even though she was living in such different circumstances. She writes of how hard it is to know

In "Made for the Journey", Elisabeth Elliot shares her experiences as she embarks on her first year of service as a missionary in the jungles of Ecuador.  This diary-like book is filled with her thoughts and feelings about what she saw, felt, experienced and how she sought for God's will for her life as she was thrown into missionary life.  If you are not familiar with her story, and that of her husband, Jim Elliot, you will not find this book very interesting.  It certainly was not what I had

First sentence: It is unsettling to me now to know that people who are making a tour of South America can take a short, easy side trip and see the Colorados.This one was originally published as THESE STRANGE ASHES.Made For the Journey is a memoir written by Elisabeth Elliot. In the book she recounts her first year as a missionary. This was before her marriage to Jim Elliot. Elisabeth worked with several other single women--some trained to be doctors/nurses--in a small jungle in Ecuador.

I love Elliot's writing style, and am looking forward to reading more of her work. This is the story of her first year of missionary work, before she was engaged to Jim. She is open about her hopes and expectations, and how the difficulties of life clarified those and challenged her faith. I have some theological disagreements with her, and the non-Biblical fable purporting to be about Jesus, Peter, and John that closed the book I found misleading and unhelpful. But everything before those last
