Find Your Way to Something Beautiful in Your Marriage

Love and War

Publisher description for Wild at heart: God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

The Eight-Week Adventure That Will Help You Find the Marriage You Always Dreamed Of

Love and War Devotional for Couples

Bestselling author Stasi Eldredge shows us how to choose a joy that stands against the tides of life's real and often overwhelming pain. Defiant Joy will help you… get off the emotional roller coaster and experience daily joy; learn how to have a posture of holy defiance when circumstances threaten to weigh down your soul; and find new perspectives on painful circumstances and see how God sometimes interferes with your life to heal and transform you. We are called to live. And, miraculously, to live with joy. We all spend a lot of energy reaching for happiness, but we are never quite able to hang on to it. Real life happens, and our circumstances take us on an emotional rollercoaster ride. So the Bible’s call to “be joyful always” sounds almost crazy—and out of reach. But it doesn’t have to be. Joy is meant to be ours, a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. This joy is not simply happiness on steroids; it’s the unyielding belief that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. It’s the stubborn determination to be present to whatever may come and to interpret both goodness and grief by the light of heaven. In Defiant Joy, Stasi Eldredge invites us with courage, candor, and tender vulnerability to a place beyond sadness or happiness. She shows us how to maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes our pain but dares to live with expectant, unwavering hope.

Captivating Heart to Heart

'You live in a love story set in the midst of a very real war...' What Wild at Heart did for men, and Captivating did for women, LOVE & WAR will do for married couples everywhere. John and Stasi Eldredge have contributed quintessential works on Christian spirituality for men and women separately but now they turn their focus to the incredible union between those two forces - marriage. With refreshing openness, the Eldredges discuss their own marriage and the insights they've gained from the challenges they've faced. Both speak independently to the reader about what they've learnt, giving their guidance personal immediacy and balanced male and female perspectives. John and Stasi begin LOVE & WAR with an obvious but necessary acknowledgement: marriage is fabulously hard. For every minute of happy delirium, there are equal amounts of disappointment and frustration and a sense that we've been deluded, that this isn't the marriage we dreamed of. Once we admit this, we are free to accept the great adventure of marriage; working together through strength gained from our own individual relationships with God, rather than looking to each other for happiness.

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 do you know who 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, chores, and errands, striving to be the women they "ought" to be but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christen 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. The message of Captivating is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman 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.

Who am I, really? How do I figure out what to do with my life? Does anybody really care about me? Why can't I be as pretty as her? Stasi Eldredge understands the doubts, struggles, and fears you are facing. She has been there! Now Stasi invites you to walk with her as she helps you understand the lies this world tries to sell you, and believe that God sees you as beautiful and worthy—right now. With honesty and grace, Stasi will help you see the hand of God in your story and trust Him with your every hope and dream.

Cautivante

Gods droom voor mij

Worden wie ik écht ben

Soyez tranquille ! Ce livre ne traite pas de ce que vous devez ou ne devez pas faire en tant que femme. Nous sommes lasses de ces ouvrages... Leurs messages semblent dire : "Tu n'es pas la femme que tu devrais être, mais si tu suis les dix étapes proposées, tu peux encore réussir ta vie." Dans leur grande majorité, ces livres assassinent l'âme. Car la féminité ne se réduit pas à une formule. Nous avons des amies qui aiment les moments de détente autour d'une tasse de thé en porcelaine, et d'autres qui frémissent d'horreur à cette pensée... Alors qui représente la vraie femme : Cendrillon, Jeanne d'Arc ou Marie-Madeleine ? Comment assumer sa vraie féminité sans tomber dans des stéréotypes, ou pire, générer davantage de pression ou d'humiliation ? C'est bien la dernière chose qu'il nous faut ! II existe pourtant une essence caractéristique que Dieu a conférée à chaque femme. Nous avons toutes en commun au fond de notre coeur une même réalité profonde et vraie. C'est pourquoi nous allons nous engager dans l'exploration de la féminité par le coeur. Qu'y a-t-il au plus profond du coeur féminin ? Quels sont les désirs de la femme ? Après quoi soupirions-nous lorsque nous étions petites filles ? Après quoi continuons-nous de soupirer en tant que femmes ? Comment une femme envisage-t-elle la guérison des blessures et des tragédies de sa vie ? Entre les rêves de jeunesse et aujourd'hui, il se perd parfois quelque chose de précieux. Ce trésor, c'est le coeur, le précieux coeur féminin.
