Title: An eye-opening, valuable read
Product review: I read this book for the first time just after it came out in 2003. Since then, I've read it several more times, and I find that it has influenced my thinking regarding spirituality more than any other recent book.Some have slammed Eldredge for taking some scriptures out of context in his books likeWild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's SoulandCaptivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul. In this book, however, spiritual concepts are set forth in a beneficial way for both mature and new believers. Those concepts are very accurate and they present an amazing and refreshing picture of the spiritual journey as a disciple of Jesus.Eldredge writes early on a line which has become for me a lifelong challenge to keep in focus: "There is a glory to your life which your Enemy fears, and he is hell-bent on destroying that glory before you act on it" (pg. 33, hardback ed.)I like most of what Eldredge has written, but for me, this is the pinnacle of his works.
