Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ's Control

Synopsis

"Romances are made of sunlight and rain. The sunlight, which turned my world into a radiance of color, was the knowledge of Jim Elliot's love. The rain was the other fact he explained to me as we sat on the grass by the Lagoon-- that God was calling him to remain single. Perhaps for life, perhaps only until he had firsthand experience in the place where he was to work as a jungle missionary. Older missionaries had told him that single men were needed to do jobs married ones could never do. There were some areas where women could not go. Jim took their word for it and committed himself to bachelorhood for as long as the will of God required." five years passed before Jim Elliot knew that it was God's will that he and Elisabeth marry. During those five years both experienced the same feelings that you may now have -- loneliness, longing, impatience... hope... fear of what may lie ahead combined with trust in God -- the elation of love mingled with the pain of separation Through their time of waiting upon the Lord, they grew in faith and their love was purified. They learned many lessons which Elisabeth Elliot now shares with you. You, too, will learn to let your heart rest "where true joys are to be found."
