No Fool

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

The eternally-impactful words of US missionary Jim Elliot, killed by the Auca Indians in Ecuador on January 8, 1956.

Such a meaningful and popular quote. I'm sure you are aware that it and many other wonderful quotes from Jim Elliot come the "The Journals of Jim Elliot"
Did you know that a new book (2010) full of Jim Elliot's own words has been released? "JIM ELLIOT: A Christian Martyr Speaks To You" contains transcriptions of messages he spoke prior to leaving for the mission field. I knew Jim when I was a boy and had the recent privilege of editing and releasing this book.
May God continue to bless your ministry.
