Elizabeth Elliot has, not only a way with words, but a way of reaching a woman's heart. She lifted me up and encouraged me to become a woman that would please God with a quiet and gentle spirit.

Elisabeth Elliot holds true to her style of communicating God's Word with extraordinary practicality and love. The articles are small, (perfect for devotional reading) and packed with truth. Will give you lots to think and pray about during the day.

I found this book about 7 years ago and have continually turned to it for comfort. I have given it as a gift over a dozen times and each reciever has found the same comfort. Perfect for a friend who cannot seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Elisabeth Elliot's approach is one of no nonsense.
She tells it like it is, yet gives hope.

...I found these short Evangelical essays to be based in Biblical truths and geared toward the problems of human life and the human condition and, in some instances, prophetic messages about the particular evils of our time and society.
The little essays may be read as daily devotional pieces or, as I did, the book may be approached and read through in several settings.

As others have said, this book makes a great devotional with each of the chapters being two pages long. It will help you focus on a small, important subject.

The best thing about Mrs. Elliot's writing is her disciplined, practical approach. This is not a vague, "Your'e a Christian, be at peace." But rather a "If situation A is disturbing you, read verse B and do exactly what it says. Here is how I handled a similar situation and was able to find peace in Jesus Christ."

I would also recommend the tape or cd series entitled "Keep a Quiet Heart"; especially if you like audio books.

This book is so great! It can be read a little at a time. The excerpts tie together but I read one or two a day and just reap what the Lord is showing me through them. This book has been very timely in my life and addresses issues from all points of life. From waiting on the Lord to working mothers and pretty much everything in between. I highly recommend this book and know many other women who feel the same! Get it!!

You will never be the same again after you read the keen insights of Elisabeth Elliot. She pinpoints areas in life that need better responses, and then shares just how to do that. A very encouraging, life-changing devotional.

Just about anything written by Elisabeth Elliot is a winner. My wife has been wanting this book and now very glad to have it!

This book is a wonderful read. Mrs. Elliot takes many life lessons that she has experienced and writes with an honesty that surprised me. Her challenge to "keep a quiet heart" is helping me to see areas in my own life that I need to change. She is a wonderful role model, is open in admitting her own flaws, and weaves the truth of Scripture throughout. A must-read for anyone who wants to take their walk with God up another rung on the ladder in spiritual maturity.

I really love this book!!! It's challenging and deep and I love Elisabeth Elliot. The chapters are short (1-4 pages) so I read it almost like a daily devotional and absolutely love it. She's very honest but clear and real. Anytime I have a friend who is stressed or complaining a lot or seems dissatisfied with their circumstances or struggling to trust God, I suggest this book to them.
Also, it was in great condition when I got it, like brand new.
