Summary: If you only have enough money for one book......
Review: Hear from a Godly woman's point of view, (which in her case is also a Biblical point of view) of what it means to be a man. A must read for young men!
Rating:
Summary: A biblical view on how men and women should interact.
Review: I found this book to be extremely non-PC. Especially since a woman authored it. This is definitely not a book to cater toward modern feminist thinking. I found this book to be a breath of fresh air and a confirmation of what my thoughts already were. It was just odd to actually hear a woman express these viewpoints so candidly without shame. I applaud her. A must read for the not too-easily offended! Heck, maybe they should read it too.

Summary: Foundational!
Review: I have borrowed this book from a member of my single's group (he is now married) and I stored the book for awhile. When I started to get interested in someone, I figured I needed to open this book up and see what Mrs. Elliot had to say. I was very challenged by her very balanced and Biblical view of the roles of men and women. Roles that has been attacked tremendous by the femininist movement and the dogma of 'uni-sex' roles. Mrs Elliot's chapters are very short yet packs a powerful essay on the formula on how to stand up to be a real man for the Lord Jesus Christ in a fallen world. Definitely a book worth investing your time in (male or female).

Summary: Timeless standards, how refreshing!
Review: The idea of a woman writing a book about manhood may seem a little odd. But if there is any woman whose thoughts on manhood I'd really like to know, it's Elisabeth Elliot. I liked Passion and Purity, but I LOVED this book. From the get-go, Elliot is not going to soft-peddle the point of view she believes best represents Biblical truth. Be prepared to jump right in to being told what is right, what is true, like it or not. And since it is right and true, I like it. This book presents VERY conservative (traditional) views of male and female roles. It will probably challenge everyone; it will especially challenge those who have difficulty handling Biblical roles for men and women. Not another book on dating, courtship, etc., but a book on living and loving. An excellent book for those considering marriage. As a Christian man, I can say that this book is all about how God designed things, and wants them to be still, and so it VERY accurately reflects the way I want things to be in my life.

Summary: Excellent! Find out what a Godly man wants in a wife!
Review: This book is perfect for anyone who is dating/courting or looking forward to a future romance. Not only because it will give you a sense for what Christians are looking for in a spouse, but because it will convict you to understanding the standards of Christian living. More than man's version of Passion & Purity, this book is the "how-to" guide for growing into whatever role God has given you!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This book was awesome. I cannot say enough good things. Elisabeth Elliot is a woman of wisdom and insight. It was like having my grandmother sit me down and talk to me about the kind of man I need to be. She is a wealth of ideas, principles, and ways of Living. She has walked the walk and knows God. She was married to a great man of God. This is a must read. If you are a man...but it. If you are a woman buy it for the man or boy in your life.
