“Mr. Beirwagen’s Neighborhood” did a five-part podcast on Love So Amazing: The Missionary Biography of Bert and Colleen Elliot. We talked about some fascinating details of the Elliot family story that aren’t included in their biography.
It is so exciting and encouraging to hear comments like these from my readers about Love So Amazing!
“I enjoyed every page and was thrilled with some laughs, wiped away some tears and was enthralled with being able to visualize so much of all of their activities. It was a little sad to come to the last page last evening as I sat in our backyard watching the sunset and the ending was so powerful. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into documenting these true heroes of the faith.”

“It enriched our lives to have available to us this insight into Bert and Colleen’s life. We knew them well during our time in Peru…but there were large areas of their lives and service that we had no insight into. You have blessed us greatly and led us to praise God and seek to draw nearer to Him as we have read your book.”

“Informative, inspirational, well researched, and written with excellence.”

“Uncle Gilbert, I’m halfway through your book. I love it!”

I’m excited to share the news that Love So Amazing: The Missionary Biography of Bert and Colleen Elliot won the Oregon Christian Writers Cascade Award for an unpublished non-fiction book! I attended their writers’ conference for the first time in 2019 and found it helpful and encouraging. The opportunity to network with other writers, agents, and publishers was tremendous. I walked away with my heart filled.
It was especially meaningful that Matt Mikalatos helped present the awards this past Wednesday evening. I attended his workshop at that conference. He gave me key pointers for my book and motivated me to persevere in completing it. It is now published!
