Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge

Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge is subtitled "Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul." That subtitle is a great way to summarize the book. John and Stasi candidly tackle all of the intricate aspects that collectively make up a woman. They teach how women long to be romanced, women long to play a role in a shared adventure and women have a beauty to unveil.

I think this book is a must-read for every woman. Personally, I was excited about how I could apply what I was reading to the raising of my daughter. While I was in the process of reading Captivating, Kaiya decided she wanted her hair cut. It was the first time we went shorter than the shoulders and it was such a drastic change for her. The one thing that she kept saying over and over was, “Does Daddy like it?” Just as the book says… every woman has a Question. “Am I lovely?” “Are you captivated by what you find in me?” As a little girl, she longed to know that Daddy still finds her beautiful – even with a different hair style.

If you haven’t had the chance to read it, pick it up!

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
