Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul

by John Eldredge and Stasi Eldredge

John Eldredge (Narrator) and Staci Eldredge (Narrator)

Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to" be" the Beauty of the story. And yet―how many women do you know who ever find that life?

Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, striving to be the women they "ought" to be but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul.

The message of "Captivating" is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.

I really like this book. I think that emotionally it's authentic and it explores aspects of women, our psychological and spiritual make up, in a way that I haven't heard anywhere else.

At times it can seem repetitive as they try to drive a point home or reiterate something they've made clear before. But overall I find it clearly and simply written, poetic in places, even evocative at times. And definitely insightful.
