‘He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.’ This is the story of Jim’s love for a fighting people and of his fight for a loving God.
 
Jim Elliot had a loving wife, a beautiful little girl, and a reason for real joy. God had called him to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the Auca tribe. Jim thought he would spend the rest of his life bringing Jesus to the lost Aucas, but the rest of Jim’s life was only a matter of months. Persecution and death are a reality for many Christians today. Jim Elliot and four other young men died in the middle of doing God’s work. When his life ended, the work went on and many of the Auca tribe today have the same reason that Jim Elliot had for real joy.
 
The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today.  This gripping and astonishing story from Irene Howat will challenge young readers to obey God as Jim Elliot did.
