| Description: | In 1956, Valerie's young missionary father, Jim Elliot, and four other men were speared to death by members of a remote Ecuadorian tribe. But the good news of the gospel did not die with them. When Valerie was just a toddler, she and her mother, Elisabeth, moved to live with that very tribe--showing the unconditional love of Christ so that the gospel could work in powerful and transformative ways. Pilipinto is an amazing story of courage and redemption--but it is also the simple story of a young American girl who grew up alongside the indigenous people of the 1950s Amazon jungle. That jungle, despite its dangers, became a delightful playground where Valerie learned to trust God's hand and respect all his gifts. Beautifully illustrated, Pilipinto is a child-appropriate introduction to several Christian heroes and heroines--powerful models in the faith who demonstrated reckless abandon for the kingdom of God. |
