The year is off to a great start, and so is my resolution to read one non-fictional book a week. I'll try to make sure I write a review for you each week, so that you may increase your reading list as well. Enjoy!
Title: "Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul"
Author(s): John & Stasi Eldredge
Pages: 218
Rating (out of 5): 4
Reread?: Yes
Favorite quote: This time around it was found on pages 180 and 181. "To have a woman friend is to relax into another soul and be welcomed in all that you are and all that you are not...When God gives a friend, he is entrusting us with the care of another's heart. It is a chance to mother and to sister, to be a Life giver, to help someone else become the woman she was created to be, to walk alongside her and call her deep heart forth."
Thoughts: "Captivating" is an excellent book that focuses on the special role that women play in creation. For women it is a must read to remind us that we were created with a very special and unique purpose. This book also focuses on the ways that our roles have been tarnished by the fall. Men should also read it to understand the hidden battle that many women fight spiritually and emotionally. Men should also read "Captivating"'s counterpart, "Wild at Heart."
Now reading: "The Grand Weaver" by Ravi Zacharias
