The Savage, My Kinsman

by Elisabeth Elliot
The Savage, My Kinsman
The Savage, My Kinsman

Missionary's poignant encounter with husband's killers.

If tales of extraordinary forgiveness and reconciliation move you, "The Savage, My Kinsman" will be a compelling read. Elisabeth Elliot's courageous return to the very people who ended her husband's life is not just a story of a missionary's bravery but a testament to the power of love and understanding over vengeance. It's an intimate exploration of the human capacity for forgiveness and the complex relationship between two vastly different cultures.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In January of 1956, the world recoiled in shock with the news. Five American missionaries had been speared to death in the Ecuadorian jungles by Auca Indians—reportedly the most savage tribe on earth. Years later, it became clear that what had seemed to be the tragic ending of those missionaries' dreams was only the first chapter of one of the most breathtaking missionary stories of the twentieth century. "The Savage, My Kinsman" tells the story, in text and pictures, of Elisabeth Elliot's venture into Auca territory three years after the death of her husband, Jim Elliot. Elisabeth and her daughter Valerie, then three years old, returned to the jungle along with Rachel Saint, the sister of one of the other slain men. The linguistic work of these women brought Christ's message of salvation to the tribe that had killed their loved ones.
