Before diving into the chapters, take a moment to sit with the question the Eldredges open with — the question every woman secretly fears and longs to have answered: Am I captivating?
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The Eldredges open by observing that beneath the roles and responsibilities women carry, there is a question their hearts are always asking. What is that question, and why do they say it is so central to a woman's life?
2.Think about the little girl you once were. What did she dream about? What did she long for most? How much of that longing is still alive in you today?
3.The book describes three core desires of a woman's heart: to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty. Which of these resonates most strongly with you right now — and which feels the most foreign or out of reach? Why?
