Books like Quest for love by Elisabeth Elliot


What if I never marry -- will God take that desire away? 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? These are some of the many questions posed in letters to Elisabeth Elliot by readers of her best-selling book Passion and Purity. In Quest for Love, the companion to Passion and Purity, Elisabeth shares many of these letters and responds to the writers' confusion and heartfelt needs with sound, biblical guidance. She dusts off "antiquated" concepts such as commitment, integrity, honor, and servanthood and applies them to dating and singleness today. Intertwined with the questioning letters are hopeful stories of how men and women discovered love through God's direction. As you read their honest revelations, you'll be able to "discern the better way" by discovering what happened when they put their love life under the authority of Jesus Christ. - Back cover.
