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 Christian 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. 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—they 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.

A great book, every woman needs to know the wonderful gems this message has! I loved hearing Stasi and John read it out too, their words were flowing and meaningful. Now I look even more forward to going to the Captivating conference with Staci next month.

Listening to the wisdom poured out in this book supports healing and growth for women. Identity is the key issue today. It was great to hear restorative truth, who God says I am within its pages.

Truly captivating!

Not every female aspires to be a princess waiting to be rescued or saved. So that’s where this one was amiss for me. Only got to chapter 3, fast forwarded most if it til then. Also, there are a few cultural references particularly to Native American princess that is a little out of touch for this day and age. The Disney princesses narrative throughout this book leaves out a lot of women of color & Indigenous & Native women who do not aspire to these predominantly white characters.

Great premise but falls a little short
