Waking the Dead

The Glory of a Heart Fully Alive

By: John Eldredge

Narrated by: Kelly Dolan

Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's summary

Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." That's the offer of Christianity, from God himself.

Just look at what happens when people are touched by Jesus: the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life. In other words, to be touched by God is to be restored. To become all God meant you to be. That is what Christianity is supposed to do for you; make you whole, set you free, bring you fully alive.

But Jesus also warned that the path to that life is narrow, and few people would find it. You'll notice few have. Waking the Dead will help you find that life, see the fierce battle over your heart, and embrace all that God has for you.

There is so much more. Do you want it?

Critic reviews

"The book...has an unguarded heart and an opinionated lucidity that may surprise readers. Eldredge is honest about the fact that life can be arduous, confusing and filled with despair, but he also affirms a deep Christian hope." (Publishers Weekly)

The revelation of the true Christan life.

This is a easy to understand revelation of what Christ offers. The true meaning of a Christian Life and the battle that we are in.

listening to the audio book makes my life whole

congratulations to John work the spirit comes with I hope to share often in this life with God

I'm going to start it again!

Waking the Dead was excellent! I learned so much from it. I am going to listen to it at least once more. It was a very helpful book.

Mandatory Reading For ALL Christians

I think this book along with the beliefs held by the author will revolutionize Christianity from the soft, goody two shoe, Jesus pin wearing, bible toting, non-impact having, Christians to vibrant real people of faith who love God no matter the cost and love others enough to be real. It could possibly be the greatest work (along with Wild at Heart) since Luther's reformation. Please read with an open heart. More importantly listen how God feels about what Eldrege is saying. Onward Christian Soldiers!

Easy Listen, But Challenging

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The book really challenges you to listen to what God is doing instead of what the enemy is doing.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Waking the Dead?

The concept that my heart is good is something I'd like to consider more and more.

Which character – as performed by Kelly Dolan – was your favorite?

The read was enjoyable and engaging. Not dry at all...really enjoyed the narration.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

A little too much to digest in one sitting, but I kept coming back to it again and again.

Amazing.

What a great book! Inspirational, encouraging, funny. This is life changing stuff.

Good Read

I liked this book, it did follow along the same lines as Walking with God. Eldgredge uses a lot of stories, myths in his books which I wish he wouldnt do AS much. some is good, but I think it is over used. Yes Jesus used parables, stories to get a point across to those that wouldnt understand it in the first place, but then would explain it to his diciples. Just my 2 cents. I did like the general information of the book it was worth the read.

One of my favorite Christian books

This is such an awesome book with modern imagery. The truths are deep and if you are put off by the examples at first, keep going. The truths will grab you and leave you with a deep life changing message.

A must read for your heart's sake!

Great book, great content, easy listening, much needed for the heart. On target message and a must read!

A Good Message

A good message with down to earth telling. This work is very important for the believer who wants to thrive.
