passion and purity can go together

For years, I have known about Elizabeth Elliott and listened to her on the radio. So often, she just seemed so unreal to me. Too strong. Too unwavering. Too committed. Too Christian. Even though I greatly respected her thoughts, opinions and sound biblical advice, but still she didn't seem like the normal day to day Christian and if I did compare myself to her, I would fall far below on the totem pole. What impressed me so much about this book starts with the title, "Passion AND Purity." For the first few chapters, I kept reading the book thinking the title was really "Passion TO Purity" or "Passion OR Purity." As Elizabeth delved deeper into her feelings about what she was going through and shared her intimate thoughts and Jim's, I began to see the reality of the real title. Passion and Purity can be attainable together when Christ is the one WE desire to be in control above our own earthly desires. This book helped me to see Elizabeth Elliott and Jim Elliott as real human people with longings and desires and frustrations that come in life when not only wondering WHO one may share his/her life with but what is God's plan for ME. I now have a totally different and more realistic view of this woman and am grateful that she shared her and Jim's story.

The part of the book that really stood out was when Elizabeth talks about when things are not going the way WE think that they should, we tend to look at everything else so differently. Things, events, people, etc. that would bring a more favorable reaction or response from us are cheated because we get so caught up in what we desire and when it isn't going our way, we end up hurting a lot of innocent bystanders (the boss yells at you, you come home and kick the dog type of deal). We don't get any joy about a sunny day because so and so hasn't asked us out or didn't notice me...you know what I mean. It is so true and then precious time is wasted and people are hurt.

God's way is the best way. We can continue to argue this and get mad and I praise Elizabeth Elliott for not being afraid to take a stand. Thanks, Elizabeth!

Excellent book!

I am now reading this book for the third time and I highly recommend it. Elizabeth Elliot truly understands what it is like to seek God's will and to be afraid that His will is not your will. She shares her own thoughts and feelings from when she was a young, single girl, seeking God's will for her future. She really makes this book feel personal and allows God to speak through her.


Great look on keeping Purity in your love life!

Passion and Purity is a great book about Elisabeth Elliot's own love story. It showed how to maintain purity in relationships. She gives reasons why purity must be maintained and why it should be our highest goal. Her book combines her love story with letters and conversations with her readers and the advice she gives them. Overall it is an excellent book that challenges you to strive for purity in dating relationships and to bring God glory in your love life.

great book

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me interested by weaving Jim and Elisabeth's love story throughout the book, while at the same time giving solid Biblical principles for relationships, or even life in general, along the way. I can't say I had a favorite chapter, but I really liked 38 and 39, talking about trusting God's plan through hard times and loving as 1 Cor. 13 requires. Elisabeth stresses the principles, not the specific rules, allowing each individual to apply the book to her own relationship.
