Ellen Vaughn is an excellent writer. Some parts of Elisabeth's story I did not expect and were very difficult to read. Through some of the darkest parts of my life over the past couple of years, Elisabeth's recorded speeches and radio programs have been in the background of my life bringing me peace and focusing my eyes on Jesus. She has felt like a spiritual grandmother. Knowing now more of her suffering, sin, and mistakes made definitely humanize her much more. Jesus was her Savior. She was a sinful human and God was and still is glorified by her life.

This book brought a lot of surprises and I’m still processing my own reflections. Very well written! I enjoyed the author’s honesty in her own story woven into writing this one.

The first two thirds of the book were very interesting.  Elisabeth Elliot was presented as a whole person.   The last third was disappointing as the author inserted her own experience into Elisabeth’s story. (I would actually be interested in reading about Ellen Vaughn’s experiences but in her own biography not In Elisabeth Elliot’s) The last 35 or so years of EE’s life were compressed into 1-2 chapters and it seemed rushed.  My rating would’ve been 4.5 stars for the first two thirds and 1.5 for the last third.

Learned so much about a woman of the faith I knew little about!! We are messy people who serve a gracious God. I loved the way Ellen Vaughn weaved this narrative of someone who was a writer/deep lover of literature & the arts. I think Elisabeth would be proud of these volumes!!
