"This is a book about bringing one's love life under the authority of Jesus Christ. Elisabeth has made it warmly personal, supporting her theme from memories, journals, and old love letters."

These and many more questions are asked of Elisabeth Elliot in response to her books and seminar appearances. In passion and purity, she 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 her love story with Jim Elliot to "serve as evidence that I've been there." Through letters, diary entries, and recollection, she shares the temptations, difficulties, victories, and sacrifices of young people whose commitment to Christ takes priority over their love for each other. These revealing personal glimpses, combined with relevant biblical teaching , may help to remind you that by putting your human passion and desire through His fire can God purify your love.
