Hear me out…. I just got done reading the story of Jim Elliot, I found these two great quotes while reading his biography called “Shadow of the Almighty.” Those whimpering Stateside young people will wake up on the Day of Judgment condemned to worse fates than these demon-fearing Indians, because, having a Bible, they were [...]
