Quest for Love by Elisabeth Elliot
I have deep feelings for this guy, but he says I'm like a sister to him. What should I do?Why should a man still be expected to initiate romance?
Isn't it okay to spend time together if we're just friends?
If I never marry, will God take that desire away?
These are some of the many questions posed in letters to Elisabeth Elliot by readers of her bestselling book Passion and Purity.
In Quest for Love, Elisabeth shares many of these letters and responds with sound, biblical guidance that will speak to your heart and your own situation. She dusts off antiquated concepts such as commitment, integrity, honor, and servanthood and shows how they still apply to dating and singleness today.
Intertwined are hopeful true stories of how men and women discovered love through God's direction. As you read these honest revelations, you'll be able to discern the better way by discovering what happens when we put our love lives under the authority of Jesus Christ.
Elisabeth Elliot was born Elisabeth Howard to missionary parents who were serving in Belgium. Upon their return to the United States they settled in Pennsylvania and New Jersey before she began college at Wheaton College. It was there that she discovered her love for biblical Greek, a love that would ultimately lead to her making the New Testament accessible to some of those for whom it had not been previously accessible. Wheaton College is also where she met Jim Elliot, who she later married in Quito, Ecuador, where they were both serving as missionaries.
Jim and Elisabeth had one daughter, Valerie, who was ten months old when her father was killed by some Waorani men who he, along with four other missionaries, had been seeking to develop a relationship for gospel purposes. Elisabeth continued working with the Quichua people of Ecuador when, through a remarkable providence, she met two Waorani women with whom she and Valerie lived for a year. They were the key to Elisabeth and Valerie going to live with the tribe that had killed the five missionaries. They remained there for two years. Elisabeth and Valerie returned to the Quichua work and remained there until 1963 when she and Valerie returned to the U.S. Subsequent to her return to the United States, her life was one of writing and speaking. It also included, in 1969, a marriage to Addison Leitch, professor at Gordon Conwell Seminary in Massachusetts. He died in 1973. After his death she married Lars Gren, to whom she was married until her death on June 15, 2015 at her home in Magnolia, Massachusetts. Elisabeth's influence continues to span generations through her daily radio program on air for many years and now re-airing in many locations, her rigorous conference schedule, including still referenced messages such as those from the Urbana But it is through her books that her reach spread the furthest. With millions of copies of 21 books in print over the years, one cannot begin to fathom the influence this one surrendered life had on the choices, godliness, and overall sanctification of millions.| SKU | Unavailable |
