Keep a Quiet Heart

When life gets too busy, too impersonal, and too much to handle, it's time to turn to God for some peace and quiet. Keep a Quiet Heart is a unique collection of some of Elisabeth's best work from her newsletter. More than 100 short passages offers a bit of relief from everyday life as they point the reader toward the everlasting love and peace of God.

Elisabeth Elliot, one of the outstanding women of present-day Christianity, has been a conference speaker and is an author of more than twenty books. Her titles include Passion and Purity, No Graven Image, These Strange Ashes, Be Still My Soul, The Path of Loneliness, Secure in the Everlasting Arms, and The Music of His Promises. She and her husband, Lars Gren, live in Magnolia, Massachusetts.
