For a whole year Elisabeth Elliot watched and learned and had nothing to say. She was living among the Auca Indians of Ecuador-the same tribe that had killed her husband, Jim Elliot-and she did not know the language. This year of observation and enforced silence stripped her of everything but the barest of essentials and the simplest of truths. In this book Elisabeth Elliot calls on us to examine more closely our own obedience to God, measuring it in terms of our experience of His freedom, grace and love.

one of e.elliot's best,

This review is from: The Liberty of Obedience (Paperback)
the best hour i've ever spent reading a book! incredibly insightful. elliot asks great questions... what does it mean to be godly or worldly? how does a christian discern the will of God? for those of us who sometimes fall prey to legalism and merely "following the rules" of christianity, this is a must-read. short but very wise. i will read it again and again to remind myself.

True Christianity,
By Scott Perry (Orange County, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Liberty of Obedience (Paperback)
The book impacted me in the following way: checking my motives as a Christian and challenging me to live to please and be motivated by God. It contained biblical insight into some difficult issues as to what it means to be a Christian. It is very short, but definitely worth the read.
