Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ's Control

Great read. If you strive to put God's desires above your own desires, you should read this book. Elizabeth Elliot's writing makes you feel like your talking to a friend.

I heard someone say recently that a real's man defends and protects a woman's virtue and does not seek to conquer it. This book, written in the fifties but still relevant for today, is a peek into the love letters and diaries of two college sweethearts separated by distance and circumstances.

I heard someone say recently that a real's man defends and protects a woman's virtue and does not seek to conquer it. This book, written in the fifties but still relevant for today, is a peek into the love letters and diaries of two college sweethearts separated by distance and circumstances. It's a great read for singles who would like to find the great love of their lives, and for those in relationships who ask the question "Is God really all I need?" Elisabeth Elliot tells the inspiring true story of her romance with Jim Elliot, her future husband, who was brutally murdered just three years after their marriage by the savage jungle tribe they were seeking to reach for Christ. I thoroughly enjoyed it, finding it romantic and challenging.   hide

I borrowed this book from our military base chapel, but this might be one I will have to go ahead and purchase for our home library. It would be most useful to a single person, but it still applies to even those who are married. It helps encourage restraint not only in regards to sex, but also within the emotional workings of a relationship. Emphasis is placed on traditional roles such as men initating like men, and women responding properly like women. The central theme that over-rides this entire book is letting your actions honor God through even, or especially, your love life.   hide
