Taking Flight: Wisdom for Your Journey (Baker Books, 1999) is a gift book of selections from Elisabeth Elliot's writings, addressed to graduates entering adult life and encouraging them to keep God's plan in view in an uncertain world. Rather than giving quick advice, she tells how she met her own joys and heartaches. Revell later revised it as Faith That Does Not Falter, whose selections offer solace for a broken heart, plain words on surrender and sacrifice, support for those who wait, and comfort for those wrestling with fear.
