ⓘ About Elisabeth Elliot
Elisabeth’s family continued to live in the city of Philadelphia before moving to New Jersey until she left home in order to attend Wheaton College. By this point, the family had increased to include a sister and four brothers. Two of her brothers (Thomas Howard and David Howard) are authors as well. She studied classical Greek which would later enable her to work in the field of unwritten languages in order to develop one form of writing. Before her first marriage, Elisabeth took a post-grad year of specialized studies at Prairie Bible Institute in Alberta, Canada, where one campus prayer chapel was named in her honor. One year after Elisabeth went to Ecuador, Jim Elliot, whom she met while attending Wheaton also entered tribal areas with the Quichua Indians. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Religious Books series, Elisabeth Elliot has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
