Captivating

Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul, by John and Stasi Eldredge, is an invitation for women to recover the heart God gave them before the wounds of life covered it over. The book's central thesis is that every woman bears a feminine soul with three core desires: to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty. These longings are not signs of weakness or vanity — they are God-given clues to who a woman was made to be. Drawing on Scripture, personal stories, and the language of story and beauty, the Eldredges argue that God himself is the only One who can fully meet these desires, and that he is pursuing every woman's heart with the love of a devoted and heroic Bridegroom.
