I've found several of her books at local Christian book stores and in Books A Million and Barnes and Noble in the devotional/Christian Living section.

My favorite is <a href="http://cumberlandbooks.com/elisabethelliot.php" rel="nofollow"><em>Through Gates of Splendor</em></a>, which is the telling of the story that EE is most known for.

I found it especially encouraging on trusting God and thanking him when you feel frustrated or overwhelmed by life's circumstances. Her testimony of trusting God through seeming disaster and through good times too is very insightful. I also enjoyed it because each thought is only a few pages long, so it's accessible even when you're busy. Highly recommended! (I should add I'm in the UK and I bought it here, but I guess you could get it on the internet.)

I have been reading through your posts and archives while I have a neck problem and can do very little around my house. My husband took three of my children to visit his family while I try to recover - just me and the baby. It has been so refreshing to read what you have had to say. What a blessing to me as I have been spending time in prayer in what God has for me to learn through this! Anyway, I have GOT to read more from Elisabeth Elliot than the one book I have read. Any suggestions? I read Passion and Purity a long time ago. But that's it. Thank you.

Living the Spirit Filled Life is about understanding that we can't do it in our own flesh and we need to rely on Him every single moment, from the smallest things to the biggest things. Moment by moment surrender is the only way we can live a victorious life in Christ. Thanks for the encouragement!
