Book Reviews of Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul

Book Review: Transformational
Summary: 5 Stars

I have worked with Christian college-aged women in a bible college setting for eight years. Every year the same identity issues are a source of struggle for these women as the try to figure out not only their futures but their pasts and how the two interact. There is confusion about how to live a Godly life while pursuing their 'calling' and relationships with men and friendships with other women.

This book addresses so many of the heart matters that when understood and applied to life can tansform women of any age I believe. If the principles taught in Captivating were used in the lives of Christian women the church would be a different place. Women wouldn't any longer seek approval and affirmation from men and men would no longer be confused about how to support the women in their life. Although this ideal, it will not happen...but as many women as possible should read and apply.

I highly recommmend using this in a small group as the materials are difficult and bring up challenging ideas. The accountability afforded in a small group make for lasting changes and comfort and support during the most difficult chapters.

Summary of Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul

Every little girl has dreams of being swept up into a great adventure, of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands. Many Christian women are tired, struggling under the weight of the pressure to be a "good servant," a nurturing caregiver, or a capable home manager.

What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating is doing for women. Setting their hearts free. This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be. By revealing the core desires every woman shares-to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty-John and Stasi Eldredge invite women to recover their feminine hearts, created in the image of an intimate and passionate God. Further, they encourage men to discover the secret of a woman's soul and to delight in the beauty and strength women were created to offer.
