Devotedly: The Personal Letters and Love Story of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot by Valerie Elliot Shepard

I was really looking for my father's original journals and didn't find that but instead found my mother's letters to him it was a miracle because she really had forgotten that that she and my father had saved the letters from at least four years of their courtship every letter has so many profound truths in them that they're precious their treasures unbelievable treasures and both of them would quote not only scripture but they would quote who they were reading and my father and mother's love was huge and deep because they were so committed to loving God first that they felt that each of the other was a gift and my father's words in every one of his letters and journals were amazingly deep profound and always with this ideas we live for God and we live for God's glory not for ourselves it was the legacy of love and a legacy of truth and when I think of that line of my father's teach the believers darling that's exactly what my mother did through her books as well as through her writing when she died and I was in charge of planning a memorial service for her I said to my husband I can't carry this weight of the legacy and he said it's not you the Curie's that it's Christ and it's Christ that you're sharing with other people when you share the story so I hope to carry on the legacy simply by telling the story [Music] you
