I have been reading (again) "The Journals of Jim Elliot" as part of a daily devotional time. Elisabeth Elliot edited almost in their entirety her husband's journals over the years starting with his junior year (I think) at Wheaton College. This guy was amazing. His story (their story) as you know is unbelievable. But this journal of his combines his confessions with prayers and often excellent explication and analysis of the scriptures. I recommend this book highly. He is the one who is credited with saying something to the effect of, "Blessed is he who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose." Again, our treasures are in heaven not on earth. He gave his life in order to help others find eternal life.
Until next time, Lisa
