Captivating By John & Stasi Eldredge

Captivating
By John & Stasi Eldredge
Published by Thomas Nelson

In this revised and expanded edition of Captivating, John and Stasi Eldredge seek to “unveil the mystery of a woman’s soul.” God has given each one of us a heart that yearns to be romanced, a desire to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and beauty to unveil. Yet, in order to accept these truths, we must first work through our wounded pasts, be aware of those who aim to thwart our efforts, and embrace the love that is only offered to us through Christ our Lord.

Well written and inspirational, Captivating has become a widely read and lauded women’s study. I was often surprised by my inner responses to the theories being revealed, and John and Stasi’s interpretation of scripture. Although I did not always agree with certain contextual inferences, I did find the book beneficial overall.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
