White shows that from early in his life
The book is short and drawn in part from many of the published works by Elliot's widow, Elisabeth, including his extensive journals. What really stands out throughout White's book is Elliot's unwavering resolve in trusting God with his life and believing that it was his responsibility as a Christian to live under the Lordship of Christ. White has written an accessible introduction to the life of one who truly lived each day to the glory of God.
