Elisabeth Elliot on the life of Amy Carmichael:

"The preoccupations of young women - their looks, their clothes, their social life - don't seem to change much from generation to generation.  But in every generation there seem to be a few who make other choices."

"We can't really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture."

"Loving Lord and Heavenly Father, I offer up today all that I am, all that I have, all that I do, and all that I suffer, to be Yours today and Yours forever.  Give me grace, Lord, to do all that I know of Your holy will.  Purify my heart, sanctify my thinking, correct my desires.  Teach me, in all of today's work and trouble and joy, to respond with honest praise, simple trust, and instant obedience, that my life may be in truth a living sacrifice, by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, my Master and my all.  Amen." 

~Elisabeth Elliot
