This is the story of one familys struggle and triumph in search for more from life. Two men, one in Italy and the other in Scotland, make the decision to leave their wealthy families and the women they love to make a fresh start in distant Canada. Their dreams of a better life as farmers are thwarted by the reality of what it means to be an immigrant and they are driven deep into the belly of blackness that is a coal mine. Swallowed up by the pattern of life in coal mining camps, they find themselves constantly moving from town to town across Alberta and into British Columbia, looking for a possible way out.

Als Jim Elliot am 8. Januar 1956 in den Regenwäldern Ecuadors durch die Pfeile von Auca-Indianern starb, sprachen damals viele von einer grauenvollen Tragödie. Doch Gott benutzte den Tod dieses jungen Missionars - er wurde nur 29 Jahre alt - , um unzählige Menschen in aller Welt in die konsequente Nachfolge zu rufen. Jim Elliots Frau Elisabeth hat das Zeugnis dieses Lebens anhand von Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Briefen zusammengestellt und kommentiert. Beeindruckend zeigt es die geistliche Entwicklung eines begabten jungen Mannes, der zielstrebig und mit großer Klarheit seiner Berufung als Missionar folgte - welchen Preis es auch kosten mochte. Der Weg Jim Elliots fordert heraus, die eigenen Lebensziele und -inhalte neu zu überprüfen. Dieses Buch zeigt einen Christen, der ebenso nüchtern wie kompromisslos lebte, was er glaubte: "Der ist kein Tor, der hingibt, was er nicht behalten kann, auf dass er gewinne, was er nicht verlieren kann."

Jim Elliot was part of a team of young missionaries murdered in Ecuador in 1956 by the Auca Indians to whom they were witnessing. These journals provide an account of his life, details his missions work, and describes his love for Elisabeth, his wife.
