Skip the controversy and read the book

Dr. Kooistra told the assembled group,

“There have been three books in each of the last three centuries that have drawn more people to the mission field than any others. They are Life & Diary of David Brainerd, by Jonathan Edwards; Life and Letters of Henry Martyn, by John Sargent; and The Shadow of the Almighty, by Elisabeth Elliot. Jim Elliot was heavily influenced by the book on Henry Martyn’s life, who in turn had his life changed by reading the story of David Brainerd.”

JD Wetterling: Skip the controversy and read the book.

Wetterling points to a documentary version of the movie End of the Spear called Beyond the Gates of Splendor.
