She blogs at confess, I’d forgotten about you until I started seeing your name flash by in my social media feeds. She enjoys reading, writing, taking pictures and dreaming about her future. I’d recommend this book, not just to people who are dating, but anyone who wants to learn about having a God centered relationship, or even to be God centered in your singleness.Īnd if I may keep your attention for just a moment more, let me share with you: she died this year, June 15, 2015.ĭowning is a homeschooled high school student who live on a small farm in the middle of no where. She used Bible verses, pieces of other books, and examples to tell a wonderful story. For a long time, their paths were supposed to be taken separately-and at first they didn’t even know if it would ever include them together. They fell in love but waited, and waited, and waited for years for God to show them the path they were each supposed to take. Elliot told the story of how she met her first husband, Jim. I’m so glad I tried that!Īt first glance I thought this was going to be pretty much a ‘do’s and don’ts’ list on dating, but it really goes so much deeper than that. I decided to look Elisabeth Elliot’s name up at the library to see if they had anything that I might be interested in reading. My review: To be perfectly honest, the only reason I got this book from the library was because I was running out of nonfiction books to read. Together, these two remarkable books accentuate our need to commit daily to Christ all matters of the heart and to wait on his timing. While Passion and Purity shares the love story of Elisabeth and Jim, Quest for Love is Elisabeth’s compilation of stories on how other men and women discovered love through God’s direction. Quest for Love will be redesigned in a similar manner to help readers identify the books as a pair. This best-selling book now has a new cover, an updated interior design, and a foreword from popular author Joshua Harris.
