Amazon.com Elisabeth Elliot's story centers around one pivotal question: "Does God want everything?" Her emphatic answer--"Yes"--is what makes Passion and Purity the foremost Christian book on dating ever written. Based on stories， journal entries， and letters chronicling her own five-year courtship with Jim Elliot， she gives frank advice， scriptural directives， and compassionate examples of what it means to follow Christ in the midst of heartache and impatience. The perfect antidote for those who flounder in the thinking that "the Bible doesn't say anything about dating，" Elliot's short chapters are filled with nuggets of wisdom that spell out exactly the opposite. "Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ， we have not begun to understand， let alone accept His lordship. The Cross， as it enters the love live， will reveal the heart's truth." Whether in a dating relationship， married， or pursuing a call to single life， readers will find Elliot's message challenging them to a true faith in a Christ who lovingly calls us to surrender all. --Courtenay Kehn Book Description Popular author and speaker Kathy Collard Miller explores why women tend to worry and how to deal with it.
