Title: Incredible life story of a surrendered man
Review: Reading about the life of Jim Elliot in 'Shadow of the Almighty' has challenged me like no other book ever has. His deep passion for the Gospel and seeking the Lord, even as a young man, amazes me and convicts my heart. He refused to fall into the "norm" and closely tested every tradition that everyone else took for granted.Jim was so earnest to have God's best that he willingly gave up any hope of continuing a relationship with Elisabeth. Instead of being sidetracked by courtship and marriage, his surrender to the will of God made him spirtiually stronger and paved the way for a Godly marriage.Jim's vivid descriptions and powerful language in his letters and journals make this book a very enjoyable read.At the age of 20, Jim wrote, "Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me."
