As soon as I saw the title of Betty Elliot's first novel, No Graven Image, I prepared myself for a good dose of iconoclasm. This is a favorite disposition for many of us who have spent our adult lives on the mission field and who have shared Mrs. Elliot's urge to smash the golden calves around which we at times have found ourselves dancing.
