Change of heart

I want to tell you about a book that God used to change my heart.

Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge
This book spoke to me in many, many ways. It really touched me deeply.

"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 the secret to the feminine heart. Your longings and desires 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." -John Eldredge

Please pick this book up and allow God to minister to your heart!

And for the men in your life....

Wild at Heart by John Eldredge
I did not read this book but I believe I can recommend it based on how much I loved Captivating.
"There is something fierce, passionate, and wild in the heart of every man. That is how he bears the image of God. And the reason most men "live lives of quiet desperation" (Thoreau) is because men have been told that the reason God put them on earth is to be a good boy. To be nice. But every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue." -John Eldredge
