current reading...

I've been a bit slack with updating the blog, but thought I would check back in about current reading - it's been months since I have!

I recently finished the book Quest for Love by Elisabeth Elliot which I found was really good.

I loved Passion and Purity and I've wanted to re-read that for a while, but came across this book which is kinda like a sequel. Let me explain.

Basically, the book is a collection of stories that people have written that support the ideas that Elisabeth Elliot had proposed in P&P. People who had read the book, and have either decided to follow what they read (successful love stories) and those who chose not to (unsuccessful love stories) and experienced great hurt as a result. The book also contained the accounts of courtship and marriage of some missionaries and other Christians who preceded P&P. Intertwined with the stories and letters, Elisabeth Elliot makes comments and further explains the different principles. Each chapter also ends with review questions and questions that may be used in discussions.

I personally found the book to be a blessing, but I reckon you should read Passion and Purity first if you have not already done so. I guess I am pretty biased toward Elisabeth Elliot - I have a lot of her books and I also like listening to her sermons (she has spoken at many ladies meetings) that are available online. I won't harp on any more about how great she is, so all I will say is that you should read the book for yourself and make up your own mind.

Hmm OK other reading..

I am nearly finished Esther by Chuck Swindoll and I have also started reading The Savage My Kinsman by Elisabeth Elliot. The last book was one that I picked up from the 2011 Vose Seminary Book Sale that just passed. There's many more that I want to read, but I just need more time!

Project Library has started! More soon..
