"Find Happiness and Freedom by Surrendering Your Life to God
· From beloved author Elisabeth Elliot
· Develop a deeper understanding of the spiritual disciplines
· Covers all areas of life, including mind, body, time, possessions, and feelings
In our age of instant gratification and if-it-feels-good-do-it attitudes, self-discipline is hardly a popular notion. Yet it may be one of the most important lost virtues of our time. In Discipline, former missionary and beloved author Elisabeth Elliot offers her understanding of discipline and its value for people of all times. Sheshows readers how to
- discipline the mind, body, possessions, time, and feelings
- overcome anxiety
- change poor habits and attitudes
- trust God in times of trial and hardship
- let Christ have control in all areas of life
Elliot masterfully and gently takes readers through Scripture, personal stories, and incisive observations of the world around her to help them discover the understanding that our fulfillment as human beings depends on our answer to God's call to obedience."
"A revised gift book, previously published under the title Taking Flight, contains selections from the author’s writings on such topics as healing a broken heart, the qualities of surrender and sacrifice, finding comfort in the face of fear, taking risks, and overcoming doubts."
"What do we do when those we love are no longer able to care for themselves? How are we to face the brokenness and suffering of those to whom we once looked for strength? Elisabeth Elliot wrestled with these difficult questions while watching the steady erosion of her mother's memory - an erosion that seemed to devour every strong and noble attribute that made her mother who she was. This book contains insights Elisabeth gained as she struggled to find perspective."
"Who Shall Ascend is both a vivid biography of a man with whom all Christians can identify, and a provocative study of the paradoxes of faith. From his beloved Costa Rica, where he headed the pioneering Latin American Mission, to New York’s Madison Garden where, side by side with Billy Graham, he addressed a throng of 17,000 people, Kenneth Strachan changed the lives of countless people."
"'I have deep feelings for this guy, but he says I'm like a sister to him. What should I do?'
'Why should a man still be expected to initiate romance?'
'Isn't it okay to spend time together if we're just friends?'
'If I never marry, will God take that desire away?'
These are some of the many questions posed in letters to Elisabeth Elliot by readers of her bestselling book Passion and Purity.
In Quest for Love, Elisabeth shares many of these letters and responds with sound, biblical guidance that will speak to your heart and your situation. She dusts off 'antiquated' concepts such as commitment, integrity, honor, and servanthood and shows how they still apply to dating and singleness today.
Intertwined are hopeful true stories of how men and women discovered love through God's direction. As you read these honest revelations, you'll understand the freedom that comes from putting our love lives under the authority of Jesus Christ."
"In our can't-stop world, where we frantically move through our days with hardly a moment of true rest and reflection, it's hard to comprehend the thought of being still, of leaving our anxiety and worry and impatience in the capable hands of a loving God. But that's exactly what Elisabeth Elliot calls us to do.
Using the title of one of her favorite hymns as her unifying theme, Elliot offers an inspiring collection of reflections on living the Christian life. Illustrating biblical concepts with her rich personal experiences as a missionary, mother, wife, widow, radio host, and internationally known public speaker, Elliot writes with clarity and elegance on topics at once timeless and timely. This lovely new repackaged edition is perfect for the busy times in which we live."
"Twenty-five essays written from Elisabeth’s life experience that will inspire and encourage the listener and remind us all of the redeeming grace of God."
"Lies Women Believe has sold over 1million copies and been translated into twenty-six languages!

Satan is the master deceiver; his lies are endless. And we’ve all to some degree believed them. Many women live under a cloud of personal guilt and condemnation and are in bondage to their past.

- God
- themselves
- sin
- priorities
- marriage
- children
- emotions
- and more
Nancy shares how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God's grace, forgiveness, and abundant life. Lies Women Believe offers the most effective weapon to counter and overcome Satan's deceptions: God's truth! Join the movement of women living in freedom.
“This study has changed my life—I wish I had it as a young woman instead of at age seventy, but better late than never.”
“To say this book has been eye opening is an understatement. There are so many lies that have controlled me and kept me in bondage my entire life! Now, with the help of my precious Jesus, I am breaking the ties that bind me and finding freedom in the truth!”"
"One of Elisabeth’s most personal books as she shares her own perceptions, through the lens of God’s grace, within events that lead up to the early deaths of both her first and second husband."
"Elisabeth Elliot, beloved Christian author of Let Me Be a Woman and A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael, shares the story of five missionaries who were brutally killed in Ecuador—one of whom was her husband, Jim Elliot.
In 1956, five young men traveled deep into the jungles to establish communication with the fierce and isolated Waorani tribe. In a nearby village, their wives huddled around a radio receiver, eagerly awaiting news of the historic encounter. The news they received sent shock waves around the world and changed their lives forever.
Be inspired by these martyrs’ powerful examples of:
- Courage to share the Gospel in the face of danger
- Trust in God
- Repaying cruelty with forgiveness"
"This is a book written nearly 60 years ago of Elisabeth’s reflections on the trip she made to Israel just three months after the 1967 Six-Day Arab-Israeli War. With input from many there, Elisabeth takes the reader/listener on a journey of perspective."
"Elizabeth Elliot calls on us to examine more closely our own obedience to God, measuring it in terms of our experience of his freedom, grace, and love."
