Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we
walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and
destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy. Elisabeth
Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was
murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived
in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to
cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the
deepest lessons about God. Why doesn't God do something about
suffering? He has, He did, He is, and He will. Suffering and love
are inexplicably linked, as God's love for His people is evidenced
in His sending Jesus to carry our sins, griefs, and sufferings on
the cross, sacrificially taking what was not His on Himself so that
we would not be required to carry it. He has walked the ultimate
path of suffering, and He has won victory on our behalf. This truth
led Elisabeth to say, "Whatever is in the cup that God is offering
to me, whether it be pain and sorrow and suffering and grief along
with the many more joys, I'm willing to take it because I trust
Him." Because suffering is never for nothing.

I only have one word for this book, INSPIRATIONAL. I have no other words, Elisabeth Elliot writes from experience and not just from a point of research.
