About five years ago I read a book called Captivating by Staci Eldredge. It is a book written for and geared towards women who try with all their might to be believers of God. It touches on the innate emotions of a woman and how and why that shapes her. This book for me was enlightening and life changing. Recently, in an effort to reconnect with something greater than myself... God of course... I started to reread this book. Again; it is just as thought provoking. I strongly recommend this book.
Here are a couple of my favorite quotes.
"A mother's heart is a vast and glorious thing. My mother's heart was expansive, having been enlarged by suffering and years of clinging to Jesus while being misunderstood, dismissed, and judged by those she loved most. Me included. It had cost her to love, had cost her much to mother. It always does. But she would tell you that it's worth it, that there is no other way."
"We desire to possess a beauty that is worth pursuing, worth fighting for, a beauty that is core to who we truly are. We want beauty that can be seen; beauty that can be felt; beauty that affects others; a beauty all our own to unveil."
Any suggestions for other great reads?

My new favorite: "The Prodigal God" by Tim Keller. So refreshing. Short read that is packed with profound insight!
