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.
captivatingSeptember 19, 2008 Wonderful study guide. I was given the book by my mother-in-law a couple of years ago as a gift. My girlfriends and I decided to do a girl's study over the book and we all purchased the study guides to go along with it. We are in chapter 3 and so far the group is going great. The study guide offers us great starting points for our discussion and really gets the group going. I recommend everyone reading the book to get the companion study journal too!
Good BookJuly 15, 2008 Good book and got me on the path to knowing we have an Adversary that wants to darken our hearts so we can't shine for God.
Captivating: A Guided JournalJune 2, 2008 Companion to the book, Captivating, by John and Staci Eldridge. Using the journal as you read the companion book leads to a much more personal and in depth discovery of the reason you were created and greatly enhances the application of the realities presented in the book. It is a journal of self discovery; self in the real sense of the word, as it relates to our purpose, and why we were created, by a loving God.
Great CompanionApril 23, 2008 I have started a women's ministry and we are doing a book study on "Captivating" We have also implemented "Captivating: A Guided Journal" This companion book allows us to discuss in great depth and answer probing questions about who we are as women in our own lives, but more importantly, to our Father. We are still in the first few chapters, but already have been greatly blessed. I highly recommend both the "Captivating" book and the "Guided Journal."
Buy this for every woman in your life!January 13, 2008 I loved this book. It made me realize I was worth more than what my husband thought of me. I am made by God and am as is every woman made with care and created for this earth as an asset not to be abused! Buy this for every woman you know and tell her how wonderful she is! She should be loved and not abused in any way. Women are precious. Remind them!
