In 1955, five young men dared to make contact with a Stone Age tribe deep in the jungles of Ecuador. Their goal: to bring the gospel to a people whose only previous response to the outside world was to attack all strangers. This is the famous true story of these young missionaries who were savagely killed while trying to establish communication with the Auca Indians. The story is told through the eyes of Elisabeth Elliot, the wife of one of the young men who was killed. The tragic outcome does not conceal the admirable zeal and ingenuity of those passionately determined to bring the gospel to every tribe.
