The Sacred Romance: Drawing Closer to the Heart of God Audiobook

" should read this over and over again "

" completely changed my life spiritually! "

" This book was recommended to me by a pastor at a time in my life when I was struggling with what I believe and many other things. It gave me a picture of how much God wants to relate to me personally and kind of an overview of the world from a Biblical standpoint that I had not really considered before. "

" this book is written much like a love song, poem or story. So it really lives up to its title! It is a great challenge for me though, as I find it hard to love God in similar ways as I do my earthly loved ones. But this book challenges me to do just that, love God in a radically passionate way. "

" A refreshing perspective on God in pursuit of us - I loved this book and it provided some of the best discussions I have ever had with a bible study group. "

" oh how He loves you and me "

" I love John Elderedge - he's always enjoyable to read, and this book poses the question, "What if marriage isn't set up to make me happy, but to make me holy?" It's a game-changer. "

" I found this to be only ok. It stated a lot of things I've already heard many times, but it's always good to be reminded. "

" First Elderedge-ish book I read, and I loved it. Brings intimacy and romance to your walk with God. "

" This was on my bookshelf, so I thought I'd give it a try. There is just too much personal history of the authors that is represented as 'How God Works in People's Lives'. "

" Loved, loved, loved this book. The subject and the beauty in which it is written was nothing short of stirring poetic music to my heart. "

" They beautifully weave a description of the wonder of Christianity and how we lose that magic and how to reclaim it. "

" This book was an epiphany for me. It truly brought home, probably for the first time, the love story of Christ actively pursuing ME...of doing whatever it takes to win me...just like Cinderella. How could I possibly turn away from that deep, unfathomable love? "

" This book revolutionized my faith and caused me to rethink a lot of things. I discussed the book with two groups of women. We listened to music, watched movies, and journaled through each chapter. In my top 10! "

" a very heart touching book "

" Good idea, poor execution. Difficult writing style. "

" Good and thought provoking. I found it a little wordy but a life changer none the less. I recommend definitely to get the workbook with it. "

" Good book. It's just what I would expect from this author. I really like this guy. He usually writes some pretty inciteful stuff. "

" From Kyle upon leaving for South Africa... "

" I still recommend this book and workbook to anyone battling guilt and sorrow in faith...or even just boredom in faith. "

" i borrowed this from my mother before she read it, read it myself, and sold it. i think i did her a favor. "

" "Marriage wasn't designed to make you happy, but rather to make you holy." Powerful book; awakening truth to our marriages today. One of many favorites! "

" I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Eldredge does such a good job of illustrating theological and spiritual concepts with emotional impact "

" Uninspiring until about Chapter 5. "

" This book is dear to my heart. Opened my eyes to the relationship God desires to have with me. "

" There was so much in this little book -- so many rich insights and reminders in the journey of faith and life -- yet the writing kept holding me back. Or, was it the subject matter? Too much to absorb that I took my time? "

" Good legalists really must do their best to avoid this book. "

" This book really 'spoke' to me when I read it years ago, after a reread, it seems really dated. 'Waking the Dead' is much more to the point than this attempt at stirring the waters. "

" The best book I know of about our relationship with God! "

" This book is OK. It is co-written by John Eldredge--the author of "Wild at Heart" and "Captivating." And I think his later books, like Wild at Heart, are better. "

" They beautifully weave a description of the wonder of Christianity and how we lose that magic and how to reclaim it. "

" should read this over and over again "

" So good!! Read this before Chris and I got married! "

" a breath of fresh air. Makes a personal relationship with God seem not so vague or wierd and much more tangible. "

" There was so much in this little book -- so many rich insights and reminders in the journey of faith and life -- yet the writing kept holding me back. Or, was it the subject matter? Too much to absorb that I took my time? "
