Through Gates of Splendor is a 1957 best-selling book written by Christian missionary, Elisabeth Elliot, who died on this day in 2015. In 1967 the book was made into a documentary movie (from Vision Video) that tells the story of Operation Auca, an attempt by five American missionaries to reach the Auca tribe (considered the most dangerous in the world) of eastern Ecuador. All five of the men were killed by the tribe. What happened next is nothing short of miraculous. Here's Elisabeth Elliot to tell us her story.
