Beautiful Christian Woman’s book! I’ve purchased extra copies as gifts & to run a small book club group at church. Look for additional resources here like DVD & participation guide. This has been my favorite book for over a decade- reading about the Love God has for me 🥰

Must read for women and men!

Your relationship with the women in your life with never be the same in the best way! It has helped my wife and I understand women's spiritual psychology. I doubt we'd be married today without this book in our life's. We recommend it to all of our friends!

Incredible book!

Incredible book ! What an Inspiration♡

Easy read - condensed version

Although I'm finding reading Captivating much more enlightening, Your Captivating Heart is a quick read and was very helpful. It gave me some much needed insight. I enjoyed the format of the book as well. It reads much like an inspirational book, but more indepth. I'd recommend it, but also follow up with Captivating.

Toda mujer debe leerlo

Este libro es el mejor libro para mujeres que ha pasado por mis manos. Como los mismos autores dicen, todos los demás libros para mujer tratan de reglas y cosas que debes hacer para ser la mujer perfecta. En este libro aprenderás la manera de aceptarte a ti mismo como eres y dar lo mejor de ti. Es perfecto para desarrollar talleres para mujeres. La lectura es fácil y con buen humor. Lo leí en una noche!!!

The Best Book I Have Ever Read!!

I have read everything that John Eldredge has written and have found each of his books enlightening and wonderful. That being said none can top this book in reaching women on a deep heart level. The female version of WILD AT HEART, this book explores the deepest longings of women to be seen as beautiful and to be desired for the person they are. Co-written with his wife, Stasi, for the female perspective it gives a full picture of the relationships between men and women. For that reason (and many others), men in particular would benefit from reading this book in order to understand the women in their lives. As the authors write at one point, "Women are a mystery to be enjoyed, not a problem to be solved." This directly addresses the problem most women find in their relationships as they are labeled too much of this or not enough of that (too emotional, too needy, not smart enough, not independent enough.) This book helps both sexes explore how the differences between men and women can be understood and appreciated in a way that edifies both. At the heart of this book are the principles at the center of each Eldrege book: that there is a battle for our hearts and that we must fight to regain the person that Christ died for us to be. Take the time to read this book and work through the guided journal when it comes out in July. I promise it will be a life changing journey that will open your heart more deeply to Christ and the ones you love.

Fantastic!!

I love this book!! First of all, it's not based on the Proverbs 31 woman. The books that say "Follow rules A, B, and C to be a good Christian woman" drive me nuts!! They make me feel so completely inadequate. This book was so different than any other book I had read. The Eldredges describe a woman's deep desire to feel beautiful, cherished, and fought-for (how we want a knight in shining armor coming to our rescue), and how that relates to our relationship with God. The book describes how women reflect the part of God that wants to be desired and cherished as well. This book really spoke to my heart, and encouraged me in my walk with God. I would recommend to any woman, and to any man who wants to understand the heart of a woman.
