Elisabeth Elliot colourfully and honestly describes the mysteries and difficulties of adapting to life as a new missionary in the Ecuadorian jungle.

In her first year as a missionary to a small group of native women in the Ecuadorian jungle, Elisabeth Elliot faced physical and spiritual trials. In These Strange Ashes, Elliot captures the mysteries and stark realities surrounding the colourful and tribal world in which she ministered.

More than just a recounting of her early days living among the Auca (now known as Huarani) women, this is a beautifully crafted and deeply personal reflection on the big issues of life and a powerful testimony to Elliot’s early commitment to God.
