Publisher's summary

Every little girl has dreams of being swept up into a great adventure, of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands. Many Christian women are tired, struggling under the weight of the pressure to be a "good servant", a nurturing caregiver, or a capable home manager.  

What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating can do for women. This groundbreaking book 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.

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.

Guys should read it too

Very good book for insiight to a woman's soul and to know what a husbands role and influence could and should be... Great book for knowing how extra-ordinary a woman's life can be under the kingship of Christ

AMAZING!!

This book is so true of every woman. Me and my college roommate listened to this on a trip and loved every moment of it. John and his wife really get into the nitty gritty and put things in a way that it's easy to digest. I would highly recomend this to men and women alike!

wow

great book. Told me exactly what God thinks of me and what my purpose is.

Every woman should read!

Great book. Be open to learning new things about yourself. Every woman should read!
