NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Rediscover the woman God created you to be and restore your feminine heart.

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 updated and expanded edition of their 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 expanded edition of Captivating 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.

A beautiful book, beautifully read! I'm so glad I got it! Audible has been a great choice for me and the books that I have been able to quote unquote read through them. Thank you so much!

Let a woman be a woman

All to often as women we take on rolls with many identities. This book does a fantastic job showing the importance and beauty that women have. It reveal our special design that our creator (God) has made in us! How intimate that process was and the purpose behind it.
This book was an eye opening reading! Love it!

Emotional highs and lows

Which an emotional rollercoaster and a great book for all women to listen to or read. One major flaw and disappointing part is that this audiobook did not include chapter 6: Healing the wounded. Which was a negative for me being in a book club and realizing that I didn’t get to enjoy the chapter like the rest of the group did.

Not just for women.

Excellent book. This is not just for women! Men need this book to understand more the women in their lives. I will certainly give this another listen. This book shows that being a woman does not mean being a doormat or being weak. God created woman for a wonderful purpose and women are doing Him a dis-service by trying to be something they are not.

Changing my last review…

I have to amend my last review as I finish the last few chapters of this book. Changing the story rating from 5 to 3.5 stars. The second half of the book is just sooooooooo repetitive… And overly fluffy.
