These strange ashes

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 These Strange Ashes, Elliot captures the mysteries and stark realities surrounding the colorful and primitive world in which she ministered. More than just a recounting of her early days, this is a beautifully crafted and deeply personal reflection on the important questions of life and a remarkable testimony to an authentic Christian commitment.

Description

In the forest that lies deep between the western cordillera of the Andes and the Pacific Ocean there is a small tribe of Indians called Colorados. The country is Ecuador, named for the imaginary line which transects it. Of the nine tribes that live there, the Colorados are by far the most colorful. Their name means red in Spanish, and they are red indeed, painted from head to toe. I lived for a little less than a year in a forest clearing in Colorado country. - Preface.
