Publisher's summary

What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating is doing for women: setting their hearts free. This groundbreaking audiobook shows listeners 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.

Holy beautiful perspective

What a beautiful perspective of love, soul searching , overwhelming tears that came from places I thought i had control over. And the Forgiveness I’ve given to myself for my own heart’s pain I’ve tried for years to understand/and hide.
Thank you John & Stasi for this book …it has given my soul rest ❤️

Finally, the truth made clear...

As a baby boomer, I've seen the erosion of biblical truth about male and female throughout my life. My relationship with my wife was distant and defeating, though we put up a front of being a good Christian couple. She has passed away now, but should God ever bring another partner into my life, it will be based on the truths revealed in this book, and His Word.

A must read for every woman and man!

This has been the most freeing book I've ever read! So many messages of not measuring up as a woman. This perspective of what it means to bare God's image in the feminine is freeing!

Great and empowering!

This book truly does a good job in calling us higher and fighting against the evil spirits prowling around the women’s heart! The couple has done a great job in sharing in a way that’s dynamic and clear! Thanks so much!! Being vulnerable is not easy but with the prayer I will be able to embrace the challenge daily!

This will change you

What did you love best about Captivating?

This is not just for women, husband please discover some of the world changing factors on women and why we are so attack. How to come out of the cycle of not feeling like we're good enough or we are just too much.
This audio/book dramatically changed my view point. Audio was good for me because I had to get through the first few chapter, but chapter 6 had me captured and in tears.
I a Christian women who has been walking with God since I was 16, a soldier in the United States military and I never saw my brokensss until I listen to this audio.
I have since order all the bible study material because I feel this is a message every women and man needs to hear.
I did not know that I had fears and wounds that dictated how I presented myself until I realized what those wounds and fears were.
I didn't even know I was broken.
