I’m doing a reading challenge this year. The original idea was to read 110 books, in specific categories, this year. It’s May and I haven’t got far exactly, so we’ll see how that pans out. Here, however, is my review for a Book on Christian Living…
Keep a Quiet Heart by Elisabeth Elliot
Originally Published in 1995
This book is a collection of articles that Elisabeth Elliot collected and put together from her newsletters over the years. The articles are a combination of encouragement and instruction for following the LORD and keeping a quiet heart, despite what may or may not be going on around you; learning to give over every ounce of our own will and self-preservation to the Almighty.
Mrs. Elliot draws on her own experience, as well as that of others, to build up and encourage her readers, though her focus is especially on women. She quotes extensively from the Bible and hymns, as well as gathering poignant quotes from other men and women of God.
Overall, I found this book a blessing; an encouragement, though sprinkled with areas of that convict. I would certainly recommend this book.
To the KING be all the glory!
