5.0 out of 5 starsTouching, inspiring, heart rending
By Kali on January 22, 2000
Format: Paperback
I am not a Christian but I was touched by the faith of this woman who went to live with the Indian tribe who had killed her husband in the late 1950s. Considering that this book was penned more than thirty years ago it has aged well. It is superbly written with beautiful photos, many of them taken by the author herself. With her small daughter in tow Elisabeth Eliot kept her faith in an ecologically hostile environment, living with people whose language she barely spoke, and whose way of life was as violent as it was beautiful. I was amazed at how Elisabeth's small daughter Valerie adapted to life in the Amazon Jungle, so much in fact that she preferred the local cuisine to her mother's cooking; she also grasped the complicated language of the Indians far quicker than her mother, and in all probability could have been absorbed into the tribe if her mother had not been there. The Savage My Kinsman is not a condescending book about the conversation of Savages to Christianity. It deals with the subject of God with simplistic honesty; this is a book about a woman, her faith and her desire to continue her dead husband's missionary work. I liked the book very much, and I am glad that even after thirty years it is still in print. If you want a plain read with no frills or flowers, just beautiful photos and straight-forward narrative, then this is the book is worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 starsA story of deep faith
By Winfield Scott on August 14, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The author tells a story of great faith. After her husband and four others were killed by natives, she determined that she could get closure only by living with those natives. Her story is interesting and shows deep faith and a deep commitment to spread the word of Christ.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Love of Elizabeth Elliott
By Allice Carlson on March 28, 2006
Format: Paperback
I read the book entitled "Through Gates of Splendor", and was anxious to read "My Kinsman My Reedemer". The book was fascinating and well written. A great tribute to Christian Missionaries and to those of us who want to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

4.0 out of 5 starsIncredible Story of Sacrifice
By Aspen Reader on January 16, 2006
Format: Paperback
Elisabeth Elliot is an unbelievably self-sacrificing woman. For her to live amongst the people that murdered her husband, and to live as humbly as she did, is truly amazing. Her book is a must-read for anyone contemplating missions work, as they will find that being a missionary probably will impact them more than it will the people they are serving!

5.0 out of 5 starsA real trooper for The Lord.
By Barbara J. on August 1, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Another winner by Elisabeth Elliot, my fave. A true heroine of mine. She always encourages with her love of and faith in Jesus Christ our Lord. Someone I will rejoice in meeting in heaven someday. She is still living but don't know that I will meet her here. Would be wonderful to do so as I have read so many of her books and seen several teaching videos and would love sharing my appreciation to her. A real trooper for The Lord!

5.0 out of 5 starsA picture of what it is like to blend into a culture so foreign
By Amazon Customer on September 29, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
She bravely gave up her safety and comforts of modern life to live as the natives did in the tribe that killed her husband. She learned their language with the hopes of eventually making the bible available to them. She aimed to understand them and came to appreciate much about their way of life. Very interesting.

5.0 out of 5 starsSuper!
By Ella C. Fanning on June 11, 2000
Format: Paperback
This book changed my life from the time I was five years old in 1967. It still continues to guide my steps today. Had the privilege of meeting Auca Indians in 1971 in Chattanooga, TN, along with the great Elisabeth Elliot.I am looking for the first publication of this book. It is a very large hardback book. Approximate publication would be 1960. Any information would be appreciated. In Christ, Ella

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Good!
By J.Luis on September 8, 2006
Format: Paperback
This book definitely teaches so clear, in a practical way, how to love our neighbor. Elisabeth Elliot not just lost her husband but also she was willing to love those who took her husband's life. Wonderful story of love. I suggest if you have not read "Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot" and "Through Gates of Splendor", you should start with those two. Everything will make more sensed at the end.
