Jim Elliot on Passion

"God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life, that I may burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like You, Lord Jesus."
~Jim Elliot~
Great quote.
Jim Elliot's passion for God is very clear in the newest book about him.
"JIM ELLIOT: A Christian Martyr Speaks To You" contains transcriptions of messages he gave prior to leaving for the mission field. The first two messages are especially hard hitting regarding the need for spiritual desire in our lives and the effect of sin in our lives.
(In the interest of full disclosure I had the privilege of editing this book.)
May God bless your ministry mightily.
