Product Description 'The book you're holding tells a very moving love story. It's honest. It's practical. But even as it addresses the real questions and concerns of single men and women it always lifts our gaze upward-above our immediate preoccupations, above our longings for human companionship to the Maker who created us for Himself.' --from the foreword by Joshua Harris In Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot emphasizes the need to commit daily to Christ all matters of the heart and to wait upon Him. She teaches this often-painful yet rewarding discipline by candidly tracing her love story with Jim Elliot as evidence that she has been there. Through letters, diary entries, and memories, she shares the temptations, difficulties, victories, and sacrifices of two young people whose commitment to Christ took priority over their love for each other. These revealing personal glimpses, combined with relevant biblical teaching, will remind you that only by putting your human passion and desire through His fire can God purify your love. Passion and Purity gives honest direction in such areas as: *loving passionately while remaining sexually pure *whether or not to marry, and who is the right one *the man's and woman's role in relationships *putting God's desires ahead of personal desires *how far is too far, physically |

Customer Reviews Average Customer Rating: (1 reviews)  Wisdom March 10, 2006Reviewer: Marissa from Lubbock I would consider this book a gem. I hope that more young women and men really invest in a book like this one. Elisabeth Elliot shares her very heart...the anticipation, the waiting, the questions/doubts, those inner "what if?" thoughts. My jaw dropped several times when I read my own thoughts laid out in this book. Her instruction and thoughts are blunt, practical and definitely applicable. This book is an easy read! Any guy or girl who is just looking for some honest and frank information about relationships, get this book! Show all 1 reviews |
