Elisabeth Elliot. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Revell, 2002. 192 pp. (Paperback).
A must-read for anyone pursuing or desiring to pursue a dating relationship, Elisabeth Elliot takes readers through her personal journey of patience and perseverance as she and her late husband, Jim Elliot, began their early stages of interest, a five-year courtship and, eventually, marriage. Answering lingering questions on boundaries and purity, Elliot openly shares her thoughts, emotions, frustrations and desires for God’s will as she weaves journal writings and letters into what slowly develops as a how-to on Christ-like courtship.
This book is a call to purity at its highest level, revealing how despite cultural trends, one is able to passionately pursue Christ above romantic notions and guiding men and women to a higher calling of self-sacrifice and spiritual sincerity. (Howerton)
