In this deeply personal account of her first year as a missionary, Elisabeth Elliot shares the challenges she faced as she worked in the jungles of Ecuador to bring the Word of God to a people virtually untouched by the outside world. With fascinating detail, she captures the stark realities of life in the jungle, the difficulties she encountered while developing a written language for the tribe, and her confusion when God didn't "cooperate" with her efforts to accomplish what she believed was His will.



More than just a memoir, Made for the Journey is a beautifully crafted and deeply personal reflection on the important questions of life and a remarkable testimony to authentic Christian obedience to an unfathomable God.



My Thoughts: First written in 2004 as "These Strange Ashes"; this book give s the account of Elizabeth Elliot's first year as a missionary. Well written and very insightful, it gives the reader a closer glimpse of a woman who devoted her life to missions and serving God.



This is an enjoyable read and gives a comprehensive look at what a missionary can face in a foreign country.



It's a book of encouragement to those who are thinking or looking into following God's call to taking His word out into the world.



This is a book that all will enjoy

Well that's the first book of the year read and what a way to start. Sam's troubles are only getting worse and I spent most of the thinking 'what? what? what the hell? oh my God. don't you dare.' What can I say except: bring on 'Lies'!

"“Clapton is God,” they wrote when I was a teen-ager. I’ll say that with a small g, perhaps. He proves it on nearly all his recordings, none more so than here. (Honorable mention: Led Zeppelin, “Since I’ve Been Loving You,” from “How the West Was Won.”)"

"The translation is god-awful but a new one should be out before too long. Huizinga says that we aren't homo sapiens (man the knower) but homo ludens - man the player. Dogs don't play as practice for the hunt, they hunt to have energy to play."

"I thought that was good. People compare us to them so much, so I don't listen to them too much in case we pick them up. But god rest his soul - he was a man who stuck to his formula and you've got to respect that."
