Passion and Purity covers dating issues such as:•how to know which person is the right one to marry•loving passionately while remaining sexually pure•the man's and woman's role in relationships•putting God's desires ahead of personal desires•how far is too far, physically This best-selling book now has a new cover, an updated interior design, and a foreword from popular author Joshua Harris. Quest for Love will be redesigned in a similar manner to help readers identify the books as a pair. While Passion and Purity shares the love story of Elisabeth and Jim, Quest for Love is a compilation of stories on how other men and women discovered love through God's direction.
