Good book, but not for men... August 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Yeah, I know, the title of this review seems weird, but I picked this book up to read more about my wife. The only problem is, I definitely don't think this was written for men. So, now that is out of the way, I'll move on...
I think this is an excellent book to really capture the essence of a woman. From the guys who brought you "Wild At Heart" for us men, they really take the time to explain how a woman works and how they can better understand themselves. The reason I said before that it was written for women is because they assume that you understand what they're talking about, probably being a woman reading the book, and that all the concepts just flow. For a guy, its a little hard to understand, but my wife seems to love it.
Overall, I think its a great read for any woman looking to explore why they are the way they are and how to deal with the feelings and emotions that come from being a woman.
 Captivated by Captivating August 6, 2008
This read was an amazing experience, I highly recommend this book to women in every walk of life. I read it along side Experiencing God, and the two just supported each other so well. This is a must read, its starts off slow, but just wait for it...its wonderful. What a blessing.
Compelling Read! August 3, 2008
I recommend this for all women! If you are unsure of your role as a woman of GOD, this book will clear up your confusion. It helped my walk with the LORD to be stronger and concrete. HE cares for us dearly and I think Eldredge captures that completely! I urge all women to read this, because GOD has used Eldredge to convey everything that women question.
for every woman August 2, 2008
This book is captivating! Really. Well-written, each chapter impacts you and leaves you with the question, "How can there be any further revelation?" and then there is. It doesn't cater to the perfect woman, nor does it impose any 'burdens' on you to be one. Rather, it explains why you are stressed, frustrated and not living the life God intended for you but hiding behind the mask of dominating or desolate woman (or in my case, flip-flopping between both). Prepare for tears, even if you think you are a strong woman - God is waiting to reach you in this book and make you understand how truly captivating you are.
This book sounds like Marmite...... you either love or hate it!!! August 2, 2008

I have never written a review for Amazon in my life!! However I came on to this website to order a copy of this book for a Christian friend of mine in the US, and decided to read some of the reviews before ordering! Having done so I felt compelled to have my say!!!!
I did this book as a study with a Ladies Fellowship in Germany and to be honest the first chapter did put me off a little. (I thought it was a bit corny...) However, once I got into the book, I honestly couldn't put it down and was actually quite disappointed when I got to the last page. I found it quite compelling to read, but I don't suggest that you take this book as "gospel" (no pun intended) and to be fair, I don't believe the author intends for that either. All books like this are basically based on some other person's opinions and experiences. I thought it was a bit different from some of the other Christian books I've read recently, and I didn't get on board with every single area of the book, (I also thought of Jesus being a "lover" a bit weird, although I understood where she was coming from. I do agree with a loving and intimate relationship with him, so maybe she didn't quite hit the mark in describing that particular area) however it did provoke quite a lot of discussion in our group which was fab and very stimulating and enjoyable.
I has made me think of my relationship with the Lord differently and has encouraged me on my journey as a Christian women who is not SUPER-CHRISTIAN-WOMAN! I don't see it as a substitute for scripture, but what book is? Read it and don't take it too seriously, see it for what it is.
