Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ's Control
In her classic book, Elisabeth Elliot candidly shares her love story with Jim Elliot through letters, diary entries, and memories. She is honest about 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 readers that only by putting their human passion and desire through His fire can God purify their love.
In a culture obsessed with dating, sex, and intimacy, the need for Elliot's freeing message is greater than ever. This beautifully repackaged edition will appeal to today's young people.

I've been reading this book for over a year now due to reading little by little. There are forty-something chapters and I would only read a chapter a day when I'd pick it up. Finally finishing it on vacation, it was a thought-provoking read. I think Elisabeth Elliot could teach the secular world a thing or two about the value of self-control and purity in a society that pushes for the indulgence of self. While there were some aspects that I disagreed with/would simply go about differently than Elliot, I respect her story and her commitment to God. I wish living the way she did was easier, but that's what comes with being a Christian. Religious or not, it's a good read. At the very least, it'll show you a different perspective from the world's version of love, sex, and marriage.
