Book Description
Their paths to God’s purpose led them together. Many know the heroic story of Jim Elliot’s violent death in 1956, killed along with four other missionaries by a primitive Ecuadorian tribe they were seeking to reach. Many also know the prolific legacy of Elisabeth Elliot, whose inspiring influence on generations of believers through print, broadcast, and personal testimony continues to resonate, even after her own death in 2015. What many don’t know is the remarkable story of how these two stalwart personalities—single-mindedly devoted to pursuing God’s will for their young lives, certain their future callings would require them to sacrifice forever the blessings of marriage—found their hearts intertwined. Their paths to God’s purpose led them together. Now, for the first time, their only child—daughter Valerie Elliot Shepard—unseals never-before-published letters and private journals that capture in first-person intimacy the attraction, struggle, drama, and devotion that became a most unlikely love story. Riveting for old and young alike, this moving account of their personal lives shines as a gold mine of lived-out truth, hard-fought purity, and an insider’s view on two beloved Christian figures.

Book Description
World War II. A man on the moon. The collapse of Communism in Russia. September 11. Hurricane Katrina. All these events triggered one thought in Seventh-day Adventists' minds: Jesus is about ready to return. Yet the wait continues. In Waiting at the Altar, Shawn Brace explains that Christ is, indeed, close to returning, but there is one foundational mistake that we have made in interpreting the events of Christ's return. Are we waiting for Christ, or is it the other way around? "Very informative yet the author's transparency makes it more than readable with word pictures so compelling I hated to stop to turn the page. I recommend it to every Adventist pastor and layman." --Kristin McGuire, Topsham, Maine "Grounded in the powerful biblical metaphor of the wedding, Shawn Brace has provided a very forthright and practical portrayal of the principles of the Gospel. He has shown how embracing these principles can lead God's remnant people to be ready for the marriage of the Lamb (Rev 19:7) so that Christ may indeed come to receive His bride. I heartily recommend Brace's book to all those who wish to understand the Gospel more deeply and experience its transforming power more fully." --Richard M. Davidson, Ph.D., Professor of Old Testament Interpretation, Andrews University
