January Book of the Month- Wild At Heart
As the Editor of Seele, I read Wild at Heart and Captivating a few years ago. My landlady had Wild at Heart book on her bookshelf, so I grabbed it wanting a good read. I had no idea that this book would change my life and offer me a deeper perspective of guys and how God designed them. I read the book in two days. I couldn’t put it down. I was desperate to get my hands on John and Stasi Eldredge’s other book, Captivating- the book for women, which also helped me understand God’s design of women and our needs.
I really really really recommend Wild at Heart and Captivating, whether you’re a Christian or non-Christian, young or old. And read both so that you can understand how God has designed and purposed both sexes!

Wild at Heart
Every man was once a boy. And every little boy has dreams, big dreams, dreams of being the hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress. Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty.
But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are . . . bored.
Captivating
Every little girl has dreams of being swept up into a great adventure and of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands. Many Christian women are tired and struggling under the weight of the pressure to be a ""good servant,"" a nurturing caregiver, or a capable home manager.
What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating will do for women. 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.
Join us as we journey into the deep mysteries of our feminine souls in order to recapture our hearts. Let this study guide accompany you through your great adventure of coming alive as a woman . . . God's captivating woman.
