I started reading the biography Becoming Elisabeth Elliot. I love reading the stories and journeys of faith of women from that generation. Many of these women are humble, obedient, and laser-focused on the priority to follow Jesus. Some can dip their toes into legalism, and have the influence of their particular evangelical generation from that time of history. This is true of us as well. We weed out what isn’t helpful, but listen closely for the gems of truth, goodness, and encouragement. I find the writings of traditional older women to be no-nonsense, direct, and clear, and I appreciate that. They have gone on to be with Jesus, passing on the baton of faith to us, and we listen to their voices, immortalized by print, to mentor us on the faithful journey.
Thank you, Aimee, for passing along the wisdom. I find myself reading your posts multiple times. They are so helpful for me. Elisabeth Elliot has been such a blessing to me over the years. Did you know that her granddaughter has a podcast sharing some of Elisabeth Elliot's messages? How is the book? It's on my list.
And I LOVED Becoming Elisabeth Elliot!
