Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love. Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.

A dynamic scholar athlete. A committed Christian. A life of courageous service. Meet Jim Elliot: Passion and Purpose. This young Oregonian was a student of Greek, a college wrestling champion, and an outstanding speaker--a man with a burning passion to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jim Elliot's aspirations took him to the unreached--and seemingly unreachable--Auca tribe in the jungles of Ecuador. When the primitive people attacked and killed Elliot and his four companions, it appeared their mission had failed. But in time, God would use the men's sacrifice to bring many Aucas to faith--and encourage other Americans to go to other mission fields. His dramatic story will challenge you to follow the apostle Paul's words in Romans 12:1: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. This easy-reading, novelized biography details Jim Elliot's life and ministry, and the sacrifices he made in commitment to God. You'll be inspired to follow his example, as he followed the example of Christ. . .pursuing His passion and purpose in all you do.
