There is nothing worth living for unless it is worth dying for.

My grandmother lived a life devoted to Jesus, and today her talks have been made available

in their original form.

So you too can be built up through the insights and mysteries God revealed to her throughout

her ministry.

Now without further ado, here is Elizabeth Elliott.

Thank you so much.

It's such a privilege and a pleasure for my husband and me to be with you this weekend.

I always feel as though we are the major beneficiaries of the blessings that come.

And at the outset, since I am speaking in a church sanctuary to a mixed group, I would

like to say at the outset that I am not in favor of women preachers.

I don't want to be a woman, a woman preacher.

And I think I know my place.

We women have the privilege of not being in charge of things.

And what a privilege and freedom and liberation that is, I come under the authority of Christ,

of course, under the authority of his word, under the authority of the church.

And I never speak in a mixed group in a church unless there is a man in charge of the meeting.

And of course, under also the authority of my husband.

So it is a privilege and a pleasure to talk about a subject very close to my heart.

That is a disciple.

A disciple, the word comes from the same word, obviously, as discipline.

It means learning.
