I must admit, when I first began reading this book, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it.  I have been on such a rampage lately about the demise of femininity that I was sure this was just going to be one more  book in a line of recent releases full of lies and leading more women astray.  I am happy to say, I was wrong.

It took me quite some time to read Captivating in its entirety, but not because of the book.  I was in the midst of chaos in my personal life, and time slipped away, but I found myself carving out every moment I could to spend time in the pages of this book. I have been trying to find something spectacular to write for this review which would nail how I felt as I turned each page and learned more about myself in the process, but there only seems to be one word which fits.  I  found this book to be aptly named, because it truly is captivating!

Women everywhere need to read Captivating to discover the absolute treasure they are to their Father.  Men need to read it to have a better understanding of the vast differences between the sexes, and why that is such an invaluable gift from God.

Aside from the usual Eldridge trademark of quoting movies some Christians may find questionable, I loved this offering from the dynamic Eldridge duo, and will look forward to reading more from them in the future.
