Sometime between the dreams of your youth and yesterday, something precious has been lost. And that treasure is your heart, your priceless feminine heart.

Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious

And yet, as the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed aside, wounded, buried. Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and performance, striving to be the women they “ought” to be but feeling they are failing. The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating does for women by

• discovering the glorious design of women that God originally intended;
• revealing how Jesus restores the feminine heart;
• enabling readers to heal the trauma in their story; and
• casting a vision for the inherent power, freedom, and beauty that a woman possesses.

"John and Stasi nailed it. This book opens to an untouched snapshot of a real, live, redeemed marriage and closes with hope and hunger for our own..." - Beth Moore, bestselling author of "Get Out of That Pit"
With astonishing vulnerability that engages readers from the first page, John and Stasi Eldredge openly discuss their own marriage and the breakthroughs they have won from the challenges they've faced. Each talks to the reader about what he and she have learned, providing a balance between male and female perspectives that has been absent from previous books on this topic.
John and Stasi begin "Love & War" with an obvious confession: "Marriage is fabulously hard." But beneath and behind the inevitable tensions a man and woman "locked in the same submarine" are going to have, the real battle is against the work of the Enemy, who plots and schemes to tear love apart. The Eldredges show how couples can win "by fighting "for" each other, instead of "against" each other." As they say, "We live in a great love story, set in the midst of war."
"This is a book of wisdom and hope...a beautiful labor that will move your marriage to far deeper joy." Dan. B. Allender, author of" The Wounded Heart"

God se hart oor man-en vrouwees beskryf.

Die twee topverkoperboeke wat God se hart oor man- en vrouwees beskryf, Die ongetemde hart deur John Eldredge en Jy is bekoorlik deur John en Stasi Eldredge, is nou vir die eerste keer in Afrikaans in een volume beskikbaar.

Die ongetemde hart is sonder twyfel die belangrikste boek vir Christenmans wat die afgelope dekade verskyn het. Sedert die verskyning van Wild at Heart in 2002 en Wild at Heart (revised edition) in 2011, is daar al ver oor ’n miljoen eksemplare verkoop.

John Eldredge hou ’n totaal nuwe benadering tot manwees voor. Hy skryf nie ideale gedragspatrone vir Christenmans voor nie, maar nooi hulle op ’n verkenningstog om hulle Godgegewe, ongetemde aard te ontdek.

In Jy is bekoorlik wys John en Stasi Eldredge waarvoor God die vrou oorspronklik geskep het, en hoe haar hart herstel kan word om die vryheid, krag en skoonheid te beleef wat vir haar bestem is. Hulle kyk ook na die drie begeertes van ’n vrou: ’n avontuur

• om te deel

• om mooi te wees

• om bemin te word.

Journey into the Mystery of God's Presence Who our God is and how he works cannot be captured or contained. Our God is extreme. Our God is unstoppable, unfathomable, and untamable. Our God is wild. And he is beckoning us to pursue him beyond our circumstances, beyond our emotions, and beyond our logic into the glorious mystery that is him. Offering miraculous, inspiring stories of lives and circumstances transformed by the Holy Spirit, author and speaker Kim Meeder shows that God isn't calling us to fully understand him; he's calling us to fully trust Him. Here she gives practical, everyday ways to pursue him more passionately and to trust him more fiercely. The wild beauty and glory of our God are calling. And in this hallowed, thrilling place, we will see his face reflected in the miraculous--and we will experience the limitless nature of our wild God.

Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart.

And yet, how many women ever find that life? As the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed aside, wounded, buried. She finds no romance except in novels, no adventure except on television, and she doubts very much that she will ever be the Beauty in any tale.

Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, striving to be the women they "ought" to be, but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. But her heart is still there. Sometimes when she watches a movie, sometimes in the wee hours of the night, her heart begins to speak again. A thirst rises within her to find the life she was meant to live, the life she dreamed of as a little girl.

In this video Bible study (DVD/digital video downloads sold separately), the message of Captivating is that your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now, as the Hero of your story—to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.

Bestselling author Stasi Eldredge shows readers how to choose a joy that stands against the tides of life's real and often overwhelming pain.

Walking in joy often feels crazy and like a denial of actual life. Yet Christians are called to "be joyful always" (1 Thess. 5:16). What does this mean, and how is it even possible?

In her new book, Stasi Eldredge meets readers 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. With deep vulnerability about her own chronic pain, surprising diagnoses, and relational struggles and loss, Stasi demonstrates how to maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes the pain, but instead leans fully into the experience of knowing God's presence and promise in the middle of whatever life may bring.

Take hold of hope, beauty, and life in a hurting world. Maybe you've been whiplashed by an unexpected crisis. Or fear has gripped you, causing you to bury your dreams. Perhaps a sad ending has filled you with loss or hopelessness, and made your faith waver. Don't despair! God means for us to have JOY-a joy from Him that is defiant in the face of this broken world. In this six-session video Bible study, Stasi Eldredge invites us with courage, candor, and tender vulnerability to a place beyond sadness or happiness. Using stories from Scripture, she expands on lessons from her book, Defiant Joy, to help us maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes our pain but dares us to live with expectant, unwavering hope. This study guide for individual or group use includes video notes, group discussion questions, Scripture study, and biblical application for your life. It also features personal Bible study between group meetings, reading and journaling from Defiant Joy, worship song suggestions, and guided contemplative prayer. Sessions include: A Reason to Celebrate Godly Interference Greener Grass Expectant Hope Cultivating Joy The Ultimate Victory Designed for use with the Unwavering Video Study (9780310096924), sold separately.

God has dreams--"just" for you "Becoming Myself" is a hope-filled book for anyone who wonders if her life will ever change--if "she "will ever change.In Stasi Eldredge's most intimate book yet, she shares her own struggles with self-worth, weight, and her past as she shows readers how God is faithfully unveiling who we truly are. Stasi urges you to lay down your past thoughts about yourself and receive God's incredible dreams for you instead. We cannot heal ourselves. We cannot become ourselves by ourselves. But we are not by ourselves. The King of love wants to help us "become." God desires to restore us--the real us. As he heals our inner life, he calls us to rise to the occasion of our lives. The most important journey any woman can take is the journey into becoming her true self through the love of God. It's a beautiful paradox. The more of God's you become, the more yourself you become--the "self" he had in mind when he thought of you before the creation of the world. Discover your truest self--the woman God created you to be--in "Becoming Myself."
