Passion and Purity
A twenty-six-year-old man preparing to be a missionary writes, "I wish someone had given me this book about six months ago because it would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish of heart. The principles you wrote about
spoke to me about more than just boy-girl relationships. God used this book to turn me from a very dangerous and persistent habit I've gotten into." He goes on to say he'd been dating many different girls, but deep down he had a real aversion to the whole dating scene. "I didn't like the feeling of having many girlfriends but really having no one. My heart was aching and lonely. I could feel Jesus asking me if He could have some time with me, please, so that He could comfort me, but it was always easier to call a friend (guy or girl) and spill out my problems to that person This last week I picked up your book and began to read it. God hit me so hard with the fact that I have been searching in the wrong place for my fulfillment. Jesus did not have first place, so how could I ever enjoy a marriage relationship?"A Dieter's Prayer
A reader who was "stuck with nineteen pounds of fat" after the birth of her second baby writes, "The Lord showed me that I'd made Him Lord of all my life-every area except eating. Such a simple thing it may seem. Now when I sit down to a meal I say, 'Lord, how much of this? How much of that?' It works for me unless out of habit I sit down and forget my new commitment and just follow my fleshly desires."
