“More than inspirational reading: it belongs to the very heartbeat of evangelic witness.” —Christianity Today

Shadow of the Almighty is one of the great missionary stories of modern times. 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.

Emily Warrington had a satisfying and predictable life. Nearing the end of her residency, she was soon to become a doctor, the result of many years' hard work and the juggling of work and family commitments. The mother of two children, and with a devoted and supportive husband, she seemingly had it all. But just under the surface, something was wrong. The seemingly perfect life was all too fragile. It only took one incident for Emily's world to come crashing down around her. Everything she had fought for and protected was put in danger. Could Emily pull together the threads of her old life or was it gone forever?
