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 readers 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.

Customer Reviews
When I read this book I was certainly 'captivated'. This is a book about celebrating all the things that make a woman different from a guy. It is NOT pro-feminist and goes to great lengths to view how the differences between men and women should be allowing us to each use our strengths to get the most out of life, love and relationships. I was enchanted to read something that said it was ok to have emotions and be the true woman God intended me to be. I've passed along to friends and family because I hoped they would gain as much confidence in being their true selves as I did when I read the book.
I never knew how much the Lord loved me and how much I was worth. This book has inspired me to be a better wife, mother and sister in Christ. The last book I read was HOLES, great! but a child's story. I haven't read in years and could NOT put this one down. Why would I. It was all about me. See how selfish we are.

the first two chapters were great, they should have stopped there. Here are a couple of disappointing things. very little biblical support, they used movie to support their points horror stories of broken relationships with know solid advice on what to do with your own broken relationships I was reading this book with a group of teenage girls and even they could see the many, many errors this book had and the many unanswered questions they leave the writer with.

This book makes you really feel beautiful as you are. It shows you how God has made women and how you fit into the puzzle. I've read it twice and bought many copies for my friends. I highly recommend it.
