Stasi: If you’ll watch the games that little girls play, if you’ll also look at the movies women love and listen to their deepest longings, we believe you’ll find that every woman longs to be Romanced, to play an Irreplaceable Role in a heroic adventure, and to Unveil Beauty.Ĭ: In 'Wild at Heart' we learned that, in their most honest moments, men question 'if they have what it takes.' Is there a corresponding question that resides near the heart of a woman’s soul? If so, how does their Creator provide an answer to that question? We need women who have come alive as women.Ĭ: In 'Wild at Heart' we learned that 'in the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.' What are the deepest desires and longings that are rooted in the heart of a woman? I believe that women are desperately needed to rise up and follow Jesus into their calling in ways that many have been unable to because of their broken hearts, and because of the crushing version of “godly woman” laid on them by the church. I’ve seen what a glorious impact 'Wild at Heart' has had on men (and their marriages) and I so wanted women to experience that healing, and deeper intimacy with Christ which I’ve experienced. Stasi Eldredge: I was inspired to write 'Captivating' with John because of a love for God’s women. In a recent q&a interview with, author Stasi Eldredge discusses 'Captivating' ( Nelson Books), her groundbreaking book that 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.Ĭ: Stasi, in 'Captivating' you risk your very self by opening your heart to your readers.
