Information on Quest for Love from the publisher:

"What if I never marry - will God take that desire away?" "I have deep feelings for this guy, but he says I am like a sister to him. What should I do?" "Why should a man still be expected to initiate romance?" These are just a few of the questions posed in letters to Elisabeth Elliot by readers of her best-selling book Passion and Purity. In Quest for Love, Elliot shares many of these letters and responds to the writers' heartfelt needs and confusion with sound, biblical guidance. With warmth and humor, she dusts off "antiquated" concepts such as commitment, integrity, honor, and servanthood, and then applies them to dating and singleness today. Quest for Love is brimming with true stories about how men and women find each other. Some of the stories end unhappily and serve as wake-up calls to those on the edge of making serious mistakes. Others, including moving love stories of Christian heroes, give testimony to "a faithful shepherd bringing people together." The tales in this book reveal that the key to a great love life is adhering to high moral standards - no matter how old-fashioned they seem - and daily committing matters of the heart to Christ.
