Book Description:
The God who saves is also a God who woos His own to a relationship primarily of the heart. As we draw closer to Him, we must choose to let go of other "less-wild lovers," such as perfectionistic driveness and self-indulgence. Eldredge and Curtis identify the lies offered by "false loves" and instruct us on the journey back to the Lover of our souls.In carefully crafted words and images, the authors entice the reader to his or her own journey of the heart, promising, "It is possible to recover the lost life of our heart and with it the intimacy, beauty, and adventure of life with God."

I had difficulty understanding the author's point in many chapters but others at church loved it.

I have only made it through chapter two of this book, but it has been amazing so far and I can't wait to read it at the end of every night! "Wild at Heart" by co-author John Eldredge was also amazing. It gave me a much deeper understanding of all the men in my life.
