Description 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 Made for the Journey , Elliot captures the mysteries and stark realities surrounding the colorful and primitive world in which she ministered.
