Author : Elisabeth Elliot

Elisabeth Elliot, a renowned author and speaker, was born to missionary parents in Belgium and raised in the United States after relocating to Germantown, near Philadelphia. She pursued her studies at Wheaton College, where her passion for classical Greek flourished, ultimately enabling her to work with unwritten languages. After marrying fellow missionary Jim Elliot in Quito, Ecuador, she shared his dedication to reaching unreached tribes, including the Aucas, a group known for their hostility. Following Jim's tragic death, Elisabeth courageously continued her mission, living with the very tribe that had killed him. Over the years, she expanded her work with the Quichua Indians and eventually turned to writing and public speaking. In addition to her literary endeavors, she later married Addison Leitch, a theology professor, and after his passing, she married Lars Gren, with whom she continues to collaborate.
