It is the life and testament of Jim Elliot, as told by Elliot’s widow, author and evangelist Elisabeth Elliot Gren. Shadow of the Almighty is the true account of Elliot's martyrdom, along with four fellow missionaries, at the hands of Ecuador’s Huaorani Indians. About this important and enlightening book, Eugenia Price writes, “It proves that Jesus Christ will bring bright creativity out of any shadow which might fall across any life and any love.” A story that has inspired Christian readers for more than half a century, it poignantly recounts a tragic event that was presented from Huaorani perspective in the 2006 feature motion picture, End of the Spear . Review: Great Book for Bible Study Class! - This is a Great Book for Bible Class with Great Content! Review: Convicting - “He and the other men with whom he died were hailed as heros, ‘martyrs.’ I do not approve. Nor would they have approved.” This is probably my third favorite book of all time, simply because each time I’ve read it, I walk away loving Christ more. I’ve read it 4 or 5 times and somehow I don’t own it! Jim’s prayer as a twenty year old was this: “Lord make my way prosperous, not that I achieve high station, but that my life may be an exhibit to the value of knowing God.” His life has certainly been that for me. When he talked, he was one of those dudes who seemed overspiritual to the point of eye rolling. But he seriously, genuinely loved God A L O T. It was not a show. That’s why I love reading this book. Seeing his genuine love for God makes me love Him more. This quote sums Jim up. I have this one written in my Bible and pray through it regularly. “Of Jesus I cannot seem to get enough. Thank God, though, He does not thwart the soul’s desire for Himself, but only whets the desire, intensifying, sublimating.” His indecisiveness about dating Elisabeth made me quite frustrated at times. He did not find Elisabeth very attractive, or as he put it, her features were “of little appeal.” 😳However, they had a “thought-bond” that he shared with few others, and he saw that she had a huge thirst for God that might have surpassed his own in many respects. They were kindred spirits. We all know that she was clearly a catch! Yet their relationship was an absolute rollercoaster. Through it all, she understood that his indecisiveness was rooted in his desire to do missions and his overwhelming love for God (understatement). She knew he loved God more than he loved her. And that’s what she liked most about him anyways! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #82,737 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #81 in Lawyer & Judge Biographies #97 in Christian Missions & Missionary Work (Books) #268 in Religious Leader Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 427 Reviews | ## Images ![Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot (Lives of Faith) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nZM+WR5cL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book for Bible Study Class! *by M***. on March 21, 2026* This is a Great Book for Bible Class with Great Content! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convicting *by C***E on May 4, 2019* “He and the other men with whom he died were hailed as heros, ‘martyrs.’ I do not approve.
