The missionary, author, and radio host who did hard things for God

From the time she heard missionary stories as a child, Elisabeth Elliott wanted to follow God no matter what. Little did she know, He would send her to faraway places where she would sometimes be lonely, sad, and afraid. But along the way she would also learn to depend on God for everything.

This biographical picture book—narrated by a colorful macaw—takes young readers along on Elisabeth’s journeys, from her childhood to her years in the jungles of Ecuador to the decades she spent writing and speaking. As children discover Elisabeth’s fascinating life of faith—one filled with setbacks and tragedy, fame and fruitfulness—they too will be inspired to bravely follow God, no matter the cost.
