 | Practical Dec 2, 2005 |
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. |

 | Worthy and helpful Evangelical essays Jan 17, 2003 |
...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. |

| Comfort in the Storm Jul 25, 2002 |
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. |

| EXCELLENT DEVOTIONAL Dec 8, 2000 |
| 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. |

| For women who want peacefulness Sep 10, 2000 |
| 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. |
