Captivating

I actually like this book and I figured it would be a little boring. I knew it was a spiritual, finding god book, and I don't really like to read those because I'm not a real spiritual person. This book though was really interesting. It showed me that I'm not alone in my thoughts. It showed that every woman has a purpose and what kind of woman to be. Well not exactly what kind of woman to be but the different types of women not to be. I think every girl, woman should read this book even if they aren't active in church.

Review/Description
John Eldredge became the Robert Bly of evangelicalism with his blockbuster Wild at Heart. Now he teams up with his wife, Stasi, to encourage women to connect with their deepest desires. To facilitate this, the Eldredges reveal in the first chapter what every woman's three core desires are: to be romanced, to play a role in her own adventures and to display beauty. The rest of the book is an extended reflection on these three impulses. Drawing heavily on popular films to prove their points, the Eldredges warn that most women tend to become either controlling or needy. Godly women, in contrast, should see God as the ultimate lover, and look to Eve (and not, say, J. Lo) as their model. Also, women should form close, intimate friendships with one another, à la Ruth and Naomi or the ladies in Fried Green Tomatoes. These are all unoriginal themes, which evangelical women's writers have been recycling for years.
