Very few books on dating have stood the test of time like Passion and Purity. Its much-needed message remains strong and hopeful in an age when doing whatever 'feels right' is common practice. Using her own life as an example, Elisabeth Elliot guides singles of both genders and of any age on how to put their love lives under the authority of Jesus Christ.

{4.5 stars}
First thoughts: 'Why haven't I read this book before now?' But then it dawned on me that I needed it NOW...it would not have had the same effect a few years ago.
Mid-way thoughts: 'Honestly, no one can love like that.' But then I realized that it is the pure kind of love and passion God expects of us.
Three-fourth thoughts: 'Jim, just marry her for goodness sake!' I was really getting impatiant for them to get married, but then I had to ask myself if I'd be willing to allow the Lord to...more

I have to say that this is the second most influential and beneficial book I have read (after the Bible). Not only is Mrs. Elliot an extraordinary writer she has the amazing gift of wrapping a story inside of a group of ideas that once discovered seem so natural and plain.
While reading this book, I was overwhelmed emotionally. Many times I was crying, at other times celebrating. But ultimately I was taken aback by such a wonderful story of two young people who so relied on the Lord that they wer...more

Good message, but I disagree with details. I think Elliot's overall message is good and true. As a single-but-waiting-on-the-Lord 29-year-old, I agree with the ideas of waiting on His timing and leading. I also disagree with much of what goes on in modern relationships, and think it needs addressing. However, my issues with this book are that, first of all, Jim Elliot was rather pompus in his pursuit of Elisabeth. I hate saying that, since he was a martyr for the cause of Christ. Men are the spi...more

Somewhat hard to read, nevertheless interesting. I agree with 100% of everything she says and if everyone took her advice, society would be much much more stable. It seems like the best idea in the world to never tell a girl 'I love you' unless you're next few words are 'Will you marry me?'
I think this is what my situation will be like...unless I join a monastery first.
The book really makes you realize how valuable chastity is. I saw the Hope Diamond on display the day after I bought this book....more

I was between twelve and fourteen when I read this book with my older sister. At the time, I found it to contain far too much passion and not enough purity. Today, all I can remember are stories about them sitting as close as possible together, etc. (before they decided not to do that anymore) and quotes from his letters to her that I found very disturbing at the time. He talked about how much he longed for her physically and that was the only side I could see to their relationship. When they go...more

I read this about a year and a half ago. After looking at the subtitle, I was like, 'Ummm… is this for me? I don't have a love life, but I guess one day I will so I guess it won't hurt to read it.' Since I've never dated and have high standards for myself and my future husband, I thought this book would not convict me, but I was wrong. So much of this book can be applied to every area of life. 'Do I love God more than anything and everyone? Would I be willing to give up someone I love for the wi...more

I may upset a few Elliot fans here, but I actually didn't like Jim at first. It seemed to me as if he led Elisabeth on, and that upset me because I would much rather courtship be initiated by the interested gentleman when both parties are ready to pursue marriage. But the Elliots' commitment to Christ, purity, and the good of the other--though imperfect as all are--is inspiring.

Passion and Purity was recommended to me when I was attending Christian College right after high school. It's been just over 6 years now since I read it so I don't remember everything about the book but I do remember it being one of the best books I read that first year or Christian College and my very first tattoo was because of a line in the book that said 'If your life is broken when given to Jesus it's because pieces can feed a multitude.' That has been one of my favorite quotes since I read...more

“Unless a man is prepared to ask a woman to be his wife, what right has he to claim her exclusive attention? Unless she has been asked to marry him, why would a sensible woman promise any man her exclusive attention? If, when the time has come for a commitment, he is not man enough to ask her to marry him, she should give him no reason to presume that she belongs to him.”
Wow! I'm greatly rebuked and encouraged at the same time. God help us walk in purity!

Come for the insight on consecrating your love life to God, stay for the broad-reaching, soul-sanctifying, often gut-wrenching truths about living a life of holiness and sacrifice for the sake of Christ.
Would I recommend the way Jim and Betty dated/courted to anyone on earth? No. But the truths that this book presents can still have massive impact on the way you view your life before Christ and the lot he has chosen for you. Read it!

This is a great book for singles assuming they are in love. This book is good for counselors to read while dealing with young people that are in love. A big word that they need to learn is 'patience' when questioning their relationship to each other. I recommend this book for teens.

A kind heart with God-focussed words, Scripture, letters, and quotes that help me focus my heart well. I enjoyed it, and would definitely read it again.

It has been awhile since I have read a 'purity' book. I was excited to read it after hearing great things from a friend. I had heard of Jim Elliot before and seen the movie End of the Spear, but I didn't know that his wife, Elisabeth Elliot, has left quite a legacy of her own, through writing over twenty-five books! Although Jim died over fifty years ago, he lives on in the writings of Elisabeth.
Elisabeth Elliot writes an atypical work compared to other Christian purity literature. Many of today...more

A wise mentor has been promoting this book for the past five or six years, so I finally decided to take him up on reading this book. At first, I just rolled my eyes at Elisabeth Elliot and her views on relationships, dating, and marriage. She came across as incredible old-fashioned and out of date. But, out of respect for my mentor, I kept pressing through. By the halfway point, I found that Mrs. Elliot was using Scripture, logic, and personal wisdom to make the case for restraint of our natural...more

Several years ago, a respected friend in the pastorate (my youth pastor when I was a teen), recommended this book to me and told me it was the best book he had read on the love/dating/marriage relationship.
I tucked that tidbit of knowledge in the cranium and jumped at the opportunity to read this book when it came my way. I personally am not familiar with this level of Christianity when it comes to man/woman relationships. She writes of the path/journey with which she & Jim Elliot came to be...more

This book was alot different than I expected, but was good overall. Elliot teaches us principles on waiting on the Lord and trusting in His timing, His promises and His plan from a very 'girly' perspective. She shares her own dating/waiting, 'already-not-yet' story of her relationship with Jim Elliot.
The book is filled with stories, letters and her own personal journals. It's a fast, interesting and intriguing read-- and whoever reads this (well, girls mostly) will grow to really be encouraged...more

I read this book in high school and college when I was single, and thought it would be fun to reread it as the 'book released in the year I was born' for the SBC. I thought I'd find it interesting to reread what I had highlighted and written in the margins when I was single now that I'm married, but didn't expect to get just a ton out of it since it's written for those who are single.
However, the book speaks so much to waiting, trusting God, and letting Him sustain you, that I ended up being rea...more

This is a wonderful, marvelous, fabulous, awesome book! I wish I had read this years ago. It would have saved me a lot of heartache and pain, even in my current relationship. This book teaches you how to be patient in singleness, how to love passionately and still remain pure, and how to conduct yourself in a godly manner. I have so much more respect for my boyfriend now than I did before I read this book. Jim Elliot, Elisabeth's first husband (he was killed in South America, in the mission fiel...more

This book had a deep impact on me when I read it in college. Several friends read it and there was a lot of discussion about it. I think the concept of saving as much as possible of the physical relationship for marriage was good...
However, there is something about Elisabeth Elliot that strikes me as very severe. It made me uncomfortable, and this feeling persisted through other books of hers that I read.
I would recommend this book as encouragement to a young person who is on track. However, I...more

'I have spent the event by a little pool which held the silent sky in its heart. There was no ripple, no stir. Lord, let me be that pool.'
Elisabeth Elliot has this marvelous ability to put the most profound and heart-stopping pieces of wisdom into succinct prose. Anyone who complains that they cannot wait, that they are lonely, that they worry, will be immediately reprimanded by the story of Elisabeth and Jim, waiting for God's will. I will definitely be reading this over again.

This is my impression of Elisabeth Elliot. 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?! Eh? Eh?'
Well Ees, 1. I'm not a cow, and 2. there is a world (unlike one that you could possibly conceive of) in which human relationships can't be boiled down to crass economic metaphors!

A must read for anyone who wants to know Christ's perspective and authority in a relationship.

Non-fiction/Christian living. This may be one of the shortest reviews I have written: Thank you, Ms. Elliot. Wow!

This book is rich. Though I don't agree with all their thoughts and practices, the heartbeat of surrendering all to Christ for His glory and trusting Him is loud and clear. It's just what a fickle heart like mine needs to have hammered into my heard over and over and over. I was surprised by its breadth of application. It's convicting and freeing, sobering and encouraging, romantic and practical. So grateful for the lives and legacy of the Elliots.

I originally picked up this book because I thought it would have something to say on how to deal with sexual temptation. While the overall content of the book turned out differently than I expected, I found that I still learned a lot from Elisabeth Elliot's story on how to live the Christian life.

From the Author's Web Site: My parents were missionaries in Belgium where I was born. When I was a few months old, we came to the U.S. and lived in Germantown, not far from Philadelphia, where my father became an editor of the Sunday School Times. Some of my contemporaries may remember the publication which was used by hundreds of churches for their weekly unified Sunday School teaching materials....more

“I do know that waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.

More quotes…

Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ's Control, published in 1984 and written by Elisabeth Elliot, is an evangelical Protestant book, part manifesto and part autobiography, on the subject of romantic relationships. The book recounts Elliot's friendship and romance with missionary Jim Elliot, beginning in the 1940s and ending with his death in 1956. Elliot uses anecdotes from her relationship with Jim to expound on her views concerning 'pure, Christian relationships' and the practice of 'waiting on God' for romantic timing and direction. The late Ruth Bell Graham, wife of popular evangelist Billy Graham, wrote the preface.

Since the time of its publication, Passion and Purity has gained notoriety in conservative evangelical circles, and was largely responsible for the very popular 1997 book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, by Joshua Harris. Both books have gained wide respect in conservative evangelical social practice among singles, and together have been responsible for the circulation of the word courtship, a term Harris and his supporters prefer to dating. Harris has argued that courtship's connotation is more in keeping with the kind of romantic programme espoused by both him and Elliot.
