Features & Highlights

  • Every little girl has dreams of being swept up into a great adventure, of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands. Many Christian women are tired, struggling under the weight of the pressure to be a "good servant," a nurturing caregiver, or a capable home manager.
  • What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating is doing for women. Setting their hearts free. This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be. By revealing the core desires every woman shares-to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty-John and Stasi Eldredge invite women to recover their feminine hearts, created in the image of an intimate and passionate God. Further, they encourage men to discover the secret of a woman's soul and to delight in the beauty and strength women were created to offer.

Makes you think

I have had this book several years now and have read it several times. Its a deep book, making one think, but in a good way. It opens your eyes to show that you are really beautiful, inside and out because that is how God created you. I have friends that are reading it too and we all are getting something different from it. I defiantly recommend this to any woman, any age. It does help you think better about yourself.

Captivating

I purchased this book for a friend as a gift after reading it myself and not wanting to part with my copy. A book many women would benefit from reading. Uplifting. I enjoyed taking my time with this one and writing notes to Jesus after each part I read.

Great Buy!!!!

This book is interesting and amazingly helpful in my life. Not a self-help book, but a self-discovery book. It tells me that I am who I am and that the desires of my heart are natural and normal. Any woman struggling with her feminine heart's desires pick this book up and you can't go wrong. You are captivating and you are beautiful just the way you are.
