by Elizabeth Elliot
This is a biography of Jim Elliot, a missionary who was killed by stone-age natives in the Amazon jungle of Ecuador. Much of the story is told through excerpts from his letters and journals.
The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd. But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body. The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. -King Solomon

Green Leaf in Drought
by Isobel Kuhn
The new Communist government refuses to let a missionary couple leave China for two years, and constantly opresses them, but they remain happy in Christ. What is their secret? This is a lovely book.
