Books like God's guidance by Elisabeth Elliot

An accessible, devotional guide that invites readers to deepen their relationship with God through scripture, prayer, and real-life examples of answered faith.

Suffering is not for nothing. Must we stumble through sorrow and tragedy without understanding, or is there a lighted way -- a path -- through suffering? Elisabeth Elliot plots the treacherous passage through pain, grief, and loss, a journey most of us will make many times in our life. Through it all, she says, there is only one reliable path, and if you walk it, you will see the transformation of all your losses, heartbreaks, and tragedies into something strong and purposeful. In this powerfully moving book, Elisabeth Elliot does not hesitate to ask hard questions, to examine tenderly the hurts we suffer, and to explore boldly the nature of a God whose sovereign care for us is so intimate and perfect that he confounds our finite understanding. A Path Through Suffering is a book for anyone searching for faith, comfort, and assurance. It is an honest book about the way our merciful God draws us close to himself and expands our capacity for surrender and obedience in order that we might finally and fully share in his resurrection glory. - Back cover.

Drawing from the Scriptures, her observations of family life in America over the past forty years, and her own upbringing, and offering a detailed description of the home in which she grew up, Elisabeth Elliot illustrates the foundational principles and values necessary to create a Christian home and family. More than a manual on raising children or a treatise on the biblical basics of family life, The Shaping of a Christian Family sheds light on the many facets of family living: homely joys and shared troubles, triumphs and tragedies, difficult choices and rich rewards. Readers who have not had the solid foundations of a strong and godly home will find here not only a pattern worth considering but fresh insights which answer the deep desires of the human heart. - Jacket flap.
