Quest for Love:
true stories of passion and purity

Quest for Love is a compelling read. Elizabeth Elliot has written this book to help people with questions about the right and wrong way of searching for a life partner, using letters and stories as illustrations.
All the letters were written to her in response to her earlier book Passion and purity. The issues are alive and kicking: How do you know when a person is right for you? What is the role of the single women waiting - should she initiate anything? What about apparently platonic friendships? How should we go about 'dating'? How can we set limits for the physical side of a relationship? And how can you know God's will? Although she doesn't all spell it out in detail, it is pretty clear what she thinks a healthy romance should consist of.
