Story
This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home - the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things", by which he means the Earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter, and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new".

John Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our father. In life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood from beloved son to cowboy to warrior to lover to king to sage. Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood - not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a sure path men have followed for centuries before us.

How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance - certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That's because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don't appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings - especially when we don't know if we're doing something wrong or if some prayers just don't work.

Follow one man’s journey of learning to hear the voice of God. By putting words to the things God has shown him through some amazing experiences, John Eldredge helps listeners shed light on the miraculous truths that God is showing them right now. Our deepest need is to live in conversation with God. To hear his voice. To follow him intimately. This is the single most life-changing habit that a human being can adopt, because it brings us back to the source of life. Yet most Christians have never been taught how to have a conversation with the Creator.

Join the conversation as a father and son talk about pursuing beauty, dealing with money, getting married, chasing dreams, knowing something real with God, and how to find a life you can call your own. Killing Lions is more than fatherly advice. It is an invitation into a journey: either to be the son who receives fathering or the father who learns what must be spoken. Most important, these conversations speak to a searching generation: "You are not alone. Its not all up to you. You are going to find your way."

What a relief it would be to be set free from all that plagues us - the inner struggle with anger, or contempt, the habitual sins. Is such an experience possible? John Eldredge believes it is, and in The Utter Relief of Holiness, he shows listeners how they can be that free, through the healing work of Christ in their lives. It begins when we discover what the salvation of Jesus Christ means for our own restoration and find that holiness is an expression of the healing of our humanity.

There is a glory to life that most people - including believers - never see. In this insightful new book, John Eldredge presents the heart as central to life. Not only is the heart essential, the heart God has ransomed is also good.

Sometimes it seems we just can't get what we want. Circumstances thwart our best-laid plans. We struggle to live a heartfelt life. Worst of all, says Eldredge, the modern church mistakenly teaches its people to kill desire (calling it sin) and replace it with duty or obligation (calling it sanctification).

In her new book, Stasi Eldredge meets listeners in their painful realities and offers an invitation to a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. This joy does not Pollyannaish-ly ignore life's heartache; rather, it insists that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. This kind of joy is present to both goodness and grief and interprets them in the light of heaven.

For Such A Time As This
This book is a gift from God to the hearts of His frenzied children. I felt it before the COVID virus, I had downloaded the pause app and toyed around with slowing down, stepping away from the screen, getting out doors...and then March 2nd happened in Washington State and for the next two weeks, managing a small medical office, my soul got derailed, consumed, frenzied, harried, scared!
A very close friend sent me a podcast where John Eldridge talked with Annie F Downs about the capacity our soul has to carry life at a 3 mile an hour pace, I wasn’t created to carry the weight of all the tragedy of the world!
I KNEW God had just sent me a life line, a prescription as to how to let the peace of God reign in my heart. I have listened to the audio book, I am incrementally adding the soul care ideas John so invitingly informs the reader of. What I appreciate is that the author discovered this way because Jesus revealed it to him personally as a need for himself and the way his soul was doing. JEsus lead John to slow down, step away from the screens and social media mind numbing habits that provide “relief but not restoration”
Do real things, in the real world, with real people and things, get outdoors, garden, take a long walks, NOT HURRYING!! Pause and ask for a greater union with God. My soul has joy when I do this.
I am still working because we are essential, and all the administrative staff is pausing together! When you read the book and download the Pause App you will also experience the reset revive for your soul. We have a lot to give over and my Gods capacity to carry it ALL is getting bigger and bigger.
This book is a kind offering our God has for us in this season of pause, rest and reset. I would recommend this book to everyone desiring the peace of God in their hearts and a deeper intimacy with God.
I am off to garden and start listening through the book again as I would like for God to weave this way into the fabric of how my soul thrives.

I’m so grateful to my friend who recommended this book! I didn’t even realize how desperately I was in need of soul care. Eldridge does such a great job of pointing out the need and showing the solutions. I Love fiction, but primarily read books to help me be better in all aspects of my life but often have a hard time finishing… I didn’t want to put this one down!

Get your life back John Eldredge
This beautiful book gives us a rare opportunity to reflect on our lives considering all that we experience, endure & enjoy in each season in this frantic world.In those reflections we are encouraged to pay attention to the state of our soul, our relationship with God, our relationships with family, friends, nature, our mobile phones, social media, internet use & even time itself. John Eldredge gently offers us advice & tools to help us navigate our way back to joy & peace filled living, at a slower pace, giving ourselves opportunities to be kinder to ourselves & others, and most importantly giving ourselves the ability to deepen our walk with God. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
