John Eldredge; Stasi Eldredge
Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul
by Blackstone Audio Inc. (CD)
Every little girl dreams of being the beautiful princess in a grand adventure. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands. Many Christian women struggle under the pressure to be a "good servant," a nurturing caregiver, or a capable home manager. What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating can do for women. This groundbreaking book casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be. By revealing the core desires every woman shares—to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty—John and Stasi Eldredge invite women to recover their feminine hearts, created in the image of an intimate and passionate God. Further, they encourage men to discover the secret of a woman's soul and to delight in the beauty and strength women were created to offer.

Then, in the late 1980s, Kidd experienced an unexpected awakening, and began a journey toward a feminine spirituality.
