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)

Top marks

Content is revolutionary in comparison to the normal run of self help books that are usually found in this christian genre. This is the eye opening result of rediscovering a relationship with God.

The Whole Church Needs to Hear This!

Listening to this book the 2nd time in years, the timing was perfect for the season of life I’m in- lost my job 2 months ago & while finding new freedom & healing for my heart, and waging war in the spirit against the enemy of my soul, I’m also about to embark on a new adventure with God into the unknown. I don’t know yet what I will find in the coming weeks and months but I know it will be really Good because in my quiet fellowship with the Lord and in conversations & prayers with trusted friends in my community, He’s assured me so! Thanks John Eldredge for another powerful book that helps people come alive to God intended them to be. 🙏🏻❤️☝🏻

Glean truth from this one!

This is one of the best Christian books I have read in a while. Oddly enough, Sacred Romance also fits in this category. The reader does a great job also; Dolan also reads The Message.

I am still working through all the information contained in this book to see if I believe it all. It is, after all, a book written by a man. There is, however, truth to be gleaned from it. Definitely worth the money and time.

Read it and allow the Holy Spirit to do a deep work in you through it. I especially liked being reminded that we have an enemy set against us and the focus on redemptive community.

My God My God

Eldridge's best book.

He poses the questions everyone asks themselves, but never publicly.

Careful. Downloading this one might change your life.

Phenomenal listen.

This is an eye opening book about your day to day opposition to really having happiness. Even if you were strong in faith, there's life enhancing principles in here.

The Best Book I ever

I've listened to this book three times now. From the revelation of the spiritual world (among us) to the masterful reading of Noland. I highly recommend this book. It will change your outlook. I have read a few more of Eldredge's works - all fantastic. Thanks John. Sorry about your friend....

Revolutionary

It should b a must in every believers library. But, it should b studied, read many times, in prayer, with the Spirits guidance. Then read all of his other books, podcast, and misc resources! Truly. Take it as seriously as breathing.
