... Show More
Every little girl has dreams of being rescued by the hero, of being swept away into a great adventure, of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are taught to be tough, efficient, and independent. Many Christian women are tired, struggling under the weight of the pressure to be a "good servant," a nurturing caregiver, passionate lover, or capable home manager.


What the Wild at Heart Field Manual did for men, the Captivating: A Guided Journal can do for women. By revealing the three distinctly female desires every woman shares, John and Stasi Eldredge invite participants to recover their feminine hearts, which may have suffered many wounds but were originally defined in the image of a passionate God.

I truly enjoyed reading this book and I devoured it within just a few days. I simply couldn't put it down. However, due to my quick reading pace, I felt that I didn't allow myself sufficient time to fully digest all of its points. Therefore, I have a strong desire to read this book again and let its teachings really sink in.


This book is extremely easy to read and it contains numerous examples and points that resonate with the experiences of many women. It delves into the issues and struggles that women encounter when they attempt to initiate and develop a relationship with God. It utilizes many personal examples from both a male and female perspective. While some of the examples may not strike a chord with everyone, there were moments during my reading when I thought, "This isn't me." Nevertheless, there were also instances where I could identify myself in the described experiences.


Moreover, there are many abundant Biblical verses employed and explanations that connect to how a woman is captivating in the Lord's heart and how a woman should live to captivate a lover's heart. It is not a step-by-step guide for attracting men, but it does offer some insights into the different aspects of women and how that can enhance a relationship with God and a relationship with a future love.

Women's minds are often very insightful. And of course, just like "Wild at Heart", which is related in a way that most books on this topic can't be. It's truly a remarkable piece. For Christian women, it's a must-read, no matter how cheesy you might think it is. After reading this book, I was completely a wreck for two days. The emotions it evoked were so intense and profound. It made me think deeply about many aspects of life and faith. The way it presents the ideas and stories is captivating and engaging. It's not just a book, but an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

I have only read half way through it, but it has already had a profound impact on the way I perceive, treat, and interact with women.

The author's vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges and joys that women face in their daily lives.

It has made me more aware of the importance of respecting and listening to women, and has also taught me to be more empathetic and understanding.

As I continue to read, I am excited to see what other insights and lessons this book will offer.

I started this exploration in a bible study, and it was truly remarkable!

It provided me with profound insights into how women are perceived in God's eyes. It delved deep into the essence of our being and the unique way we are wired according to His plan.

Moreover, it illuminated the path we should follow to live out His desires for our lives. It was not only a source of inspiration but also a practical guide on how to align our actions and choices with His will.

This study is an absolute must-read for both men and women. It has the power to transform our understanding of ourselves and our relationship with God, and ultimately lead us to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Whether you are seeking spiritual growth or simply looking for a new perspective on life, this bible study is sure to leave a lasting impact.

John and Stasi Eldredge are truly remarkable individuals.

Anything they say holds great significance and value. Their words have the power to inspire, enlighten, and transform.

One of the profound insights they have shared is about Satan's great enmity for women. Satan, the adversary, seems to have a particular vendetta against women.

This enmity may manifest in various ways, such as through the promotion of negative stereotypes, the undermining of women's confidence and worth, and the creation of obstacles and challenges in their lives.

However, it is important to remember that women are strong, resilient, and empowered. They have the ability to overcome the attacks of the enemy and to walk in the fullness of their God-given purpose.

With the support and encouragement of those around them, and with a deep reliance on God, women can rise above the enmity of Satan and shine brightly in the world.

The Eldredges' words serve as a reminder to all of us to stand with women, to support them in their journey, and to help them to fulfill their destiny.

This book has been far more enraging than it has been helpful. There is criticism on Proverbs 31, yet if they truly are Christians, they should be using the Bible to support their message. Without a solid foundation in God's word, we have nothing. What this book does is that it tends to take the safety that God provides us in His truth and tear it down, allowing us to give in to the desires of our hearts.

God said, "The heart is deceitfully wicked above all things; who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9). Instead of looking for what God desires for a woman to be in places where it isn't, you should read the Bible and also pray and ask for God's will for your life. This book is one of those incorrect places.

We must always remember the importance of relying on God's word and not being led astray by things that do not align with His truth. We should seek His guidance and direction in all aspects of our lives and not be influenced by books or teachings that go against what He has said.

Let us always be vigilant and discerning, and make sure that we are building our lives on the solid foundation of God's word.
