Using her own life as an example, Elliot shows single young people how to put their love lives under the authority of Jesus Christ.

We know we need to commit daily to Christ all matters of the heart and to wait upon Him. But so often it is a painful, lonely process that takes longer than we want it to.

In her classic book, Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot candidly shares with you her love story with Jim Elliot as evidence that she has been there. Through letters, diary entries, and memories, she shares the temptations, difficulties, victories, and sacrifices of two young people whose commitment to Christ took priority over their love for each other. These revealing personal glimpses, combined with relevant biblical teaching, will remind you that only by putting your human passion and desire through His fire can God purify your love.

Includes honest, biblical direction on these important matters of the heart

-loving passionately while remaining sexually pure
-whether or not to marry, and who is the right one
-the man's and woman's role in relationships
-putting God's desires ahead of personal desires
-how far is too far, physically

In a culture obsessed with dating, sex, and intimacy, the need for Elliot's freeing message is greater than ever.
