Practical

As others have said, this book makes a great devotional with each of the chapters being two pages long. It will help you focus on a small, important subject.

The best thing about Mrs. Elliot's writing is her disciplined, practical approach. This is not a vague, "Your'e a Christian, be at peace." But rather a "If situation A is disturbing you, read verse B and do exactly what it says. Here is how I handled a similar situation and was able to find peace in Jesus Christ."

I would also recommend the tape or cd series entitled "Keep a Quiet Heart"; especially if you like audio books.

Comfort in the Storm

I found this book about 7 years ago and have continually turned to it for comfort. I have given it as a gift over a dozen times and each reciever has found the same comfort. Perfect for a friend who cannot seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Elisabeth Elliot's approach is one of no nonsense.
She tells it like it is, yet gives hope.

BUY IT!!!

This book is so great! It can be read a little at a time. The excerpts tie together but I read one or two a day and just reap what the Lord is showing me through them. This book has been very timely in my life and addresses issues from all points of life. From waiting on the Lord to working mothers and pretty much everything in between. I highly recommend this book and know many other women who feel the same! Get it!!

Extremely well-written, challenging, AND encouraging!

I've never met an Elisabeth Elliot book I didn't like, and to me this book is one of her very, very best. The short chapters are ideal for readers who don't have much time to read in one sitting. Elisabeth Elliot has a real gift for understanding people, for relating to people, and for reaching them with truth and compassion. I was amazed at the range of subjects covered in this book, yet they all flow together in a very fluid way. If you are looking to be challenged OR encouraged, this book is for you! IMO, this is a true, timeless classic.

Worthy and helpful Evangelical essays

...I found these short Evangelical essays to be based in Biblical truths and geared toward the problems of human life and the human condition and, in some instances, prophetic messages about the particular evils of our time and society.
The little essays may be read as daily devotional pieces or, as I did, the book may be approached and read through in several settings.

Peace and quiet--to many of us they're just words. Somehow we have allowed the frenetic pace of life to rob us of the quiet, restful moments with God we so desperately need. Keep a Quiet Heart features the rich devotional musings of one of America's favorite authors and points the way to a deep experience with God, away from the unsettling distractions of day-to-day living.
