The Great Omission by Steve Saint

Chapter 1, page 17 ~ "Millions of Christians all over the world know the story of how Jim Elliot, Roger Yourderian, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming and my Dad, Nate {Saint}, were speared by Waodani in 1956. Many Christians know part of the rest of the story too, how after the five young missionaries were killed, God opened a door for Elizabeth Elliot and my aunt, Rachel Saint, to go love with the Waodani, and how when the Waodani heard the gospel of Jesus, many began to walk God's trail."

Page 25 ~ "Evangelizing the world is like a relay race. In areas where there is no church, missionaries run the first lap. Then we should hand off to local beleivers to finish the race."

Page 53 ~ "Not only is dependency one of the Devil's most effective barriers to the spead of Christ's message of forgiveness, but once it is established, it is extrememly difficult to break."
