Am 8. Januar 1956 wurden die von indianischen Speeren durchbohrten Leichen von fünf Männern am Ufer des Rio Curaray im Amazonastiefland von Ecuador gefunden. Unter ihnen der 29-jährige Pioniermissionar Jim Elliot. In diesem anhand von Originaldokumenten recherchierten Hörspiel wird sein beeindruckendes Leben mitreißend erzählt, dass sich durch seine Zielstrebigkeit, Zweifel, Niederlagen und zahlreiche Glaubenserfahrungen vom Lebensweg vieler Zeitgenossen deutlich abhob. Ein kompromissloses Leben für Gott, das zahlreiche Anstöße für das eigene Glaubensleben gibt.

Elisabeth Elliot (1926–2015) is one of the most widely known Christians of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. After the death of her husband, Jim, and four other missionaries at the hands of Waorani tribesmen in Ecuador, Elliot famously returned to live among the same people who had killed her husband. Her legacy, however, extends far beyond these events. In the years that followed, Elliot became a prolific writer and speaker, touching the lives of countless people around the world. Author Lucy S. R. Austen takes listeners on an in-depth journey through the life of Elisabeth Elliot.

Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a remote Amazonian indigenous people group killed her husband Jim and his four colleagues. And yet, she stayed in the jungle with her young daughter to minister to the very people who had thrown the spears, demonstrating the power of Christ’s forgiveness.
