Preface to the Second Edition
Preface to the Second Edition
Readers will note that this book was originally published in 1988. Some of its contents may seem a bit dated. Nevertheless I believe that the topic of loneliness is of perennial interest to all of us at every season of our lives.
It is my earnest prayer that those who tread this path may find the companionship of One who calls Himself the God of peace. May you also discover what the apostle Paul learned while he was in prison: “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength” (Phil. 4:12–13 NIV).
Elisabeth Elliot, 2001
