Eldredge is a very good writer, easy to read and profound. He is a combination of Neil Anderson, Frank Peretti, and Max Lucado. This book deals with the condition of the heart and spiritual warfare. While the author tries to be pro-church, it eventually becomes evident that he is somewhat impatient with its more traditional strains. His use of scripture is good but it is his use of illustration that makes this book shine. He is practical and relevant. If you feel like you have been betrayed spiritually or have ever had the life sucked out of you, this book just might point you in the right direction. Ladies, while his first book was primarily intended for men, this one is gender neutral. Also, I can see why so many small groups are using it for discussion purposes.
Ever go through life "zombie-like." You're just going through the motions, doing your job, collecting the check, and vegging out by the TV? This is NOT a "heart fully alive," that is, all that God has destined you to be. Jesus taught much of the time in parables, and Eldredge uses contemporary movies and stories to draw parallels to everyday life, so that we may have "eyes to see and ears to hear." I'm reading it for the 3rd time, and buy copies here from time to time to give to friends. Yes, it's that good.
This is positively the best book I have ever read in many years! I finished it in one day and I am not an avid reader! I highly recommend this book to all who are willing to hear what it has to say. It will make you rethink your walk with Jesus Christ and you will be stronger in the end. It will teach you how to guard your heart and stay close to Christ. You can't go wrong reading this one! I pray that everyone who reads it will be as blessed as I was after reading it. Mine is now being shared with a co-worker. May God bless this country and our world.
As it says in this book, "The Heart is central and we are born into a world at war!
