What is the author's tone in Shadow of the Almighty by Elisabeth Elliot?

Elisabeth Elliot's conversational tone weaves the story of her husband's life using Christian terms in her storytelling without sounding preachy. Some may not realize how seldom words like church are used, but instead the word assembly marks the gathering of believers within the text. Her use of selected words such as this echo Jim Elliot's own choice to follow biblical church patterns found in the New Testament instead of practicing modern church traditions. Phrases like "facts over feelings" and "approved unto God" are easy to understand and make important points as Jim Elliot fights to base his life on the facts found in God's Word rather than to be lead by the whimsy of his mood, feelings or sway of world pressures. Her writing style uses balance and rhythm to help deliver her meaning with dramatic results. Her self-explanatory style makes the book easy-to-understand no matter a reader's background and keeps it interesting because the pace consistently moves forward.
