He is not a fool who gives up that which he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose. ~ Jim Elliott

Note: Jim Elliot, a modern martyr, gained international recognition when he died with four others at the hands of the Auca Indians. His story and memoirs have been a source of missionary inspiration through the writing and speaking of his wife, Elizabeth.

Wow!! What a beautiful picture and text.
I recently discovered a new book of transcribed spoken messages given by Jim Elliot before he left for the mission field. It is not only a very inspiring book but is also full of quotable statements – you would probably find it very interesting and resourceful.
