Summary
Sometime between the dreams of your youth and yesterday's to-do list, something precious has been lost: your priceless femininity.

God has set within you a femininity that is powerful, tender, and fierce. No doubt it has been misunderstood, but it is there, and it is worth recovering. In this runaway bestseller, John and Stasi Eldredge vulnerably share their story and show you how to set your heart free and embrace life as a woman who is truly captivating.

The mystery of the feminine heart was meant to be a good thing, a source of joy. But all too often, it becomes a source of shame. We almost universally feel that we are too much or not enough.

This book combines timeless scripture with honest, heartfelt stories from women who have been there, too, giving you the encouragement you need to:


- Discover the glorious design of women that God originally intended
- Understand how Jesus restores the feminine heart
- Heal the trauma in your story
- Embrace the inherent power, freedom, and beauty that you already possess

 

As we grow older and our dreams are slowly pushed aside, we're told that we have to settle for a life of efficiency and performance, striving to be the women we're told that we ought to be and still feeling like we're failing. But it doesn't have to be this way. Let Captivating help you discover the woman you were meant to be.

This expanded edition features a new bonus chapter where Stasi answers the top Captivating questions.

I thought this was fantastic! This will be a book I recommend and read often. There is always something that I can pull from each chapter that relates to my current situation.

I thought it was fantastic - I love how the content every so often unexpectedly struck a nerve or created a light bulb moment... overall it left me with much to think about and reflect on, to the point that I would have to listen to it again! And unlike several comments below, I did not find it narrated in an offensive or annoying manner, she added character and emotion to keep one's attention. Only recommendation would be to use a male voice as well to cover the 'John' bits for clarity.

I listened to it at 1.5x after the voice reviews (no one likes a whiny victim voice!) The edits are beautifully done. I'm still sad that it is abridged, as the full length book has more clarity on how to handle oppositions (whether those are the mental strongholds of shame, depression, and guilt, or outright spiritual attack). This one made it feel very open-ended. I like closure, but our world doesn't always come tied up in a nice bow. Aside from that, her personal experiences are refreshingly transparent, and I hope anyone who reads this uses discernment in knowing what is scripture and what is feeling. (though it is fairly obvious). One caviat: John also writes parts of this book, but his bits are not announced. That can get confusing!
