Let Me Be a Woman

I loved missionary stories because they were so interesting, and then being bitterly disappointed entering the message because she had no slides, no pictures, not even any cool stuff from when she had been a missionary.

Fast forward a dozen years or so, and Elizabeth's book, Passion and Purity, as well as Let Me Be a Woman and Keep a Quiet Heart, shaped a great deal of my life as a teenager.

And then when I was 18 or 19, I had the extreme privilege of meeting Elizabeth and Lars in person.

And the impact that that left on me was how extremely real and down-to-earth Elizabeth was.

that I will receive in my heart my spouse as a sacred gift from God.

And I remember what you were quoting me a couple weeks ago when you were reading the Let Me Be a Woman.

And not that I would ever read a book called Let Me Be a Woman.

My Elizabeth Elliot book.

But yeah, so I digress.

And then she ends up kind of coming out of her seeking phase and ends up writing exactly the Christian platitudes that she had so strongly rejected.

She comes out with her book, Let Me Be a Woman in 1976.

And it's all this Christian womanhood stuff.

It sounds just like that Maribel Morgan stuff.
