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

" I am still in the process of studying this book but so far it is all you would expect of John Eldridge and more. A really thought provoking heart searching book. "

" EXCELLENT content, prose style very difficult to slog through. "

" One of those books that knocks you up side the head and you keep coming back for more. Five stars. "

" 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. "

" I guess I didn't really care for it because I have read so much of the same carpe diem, you don't know the big picture kind of spiritual books. "

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

" This book has a beautiful message. The personal stories really added depth and interest. "

" This book made me understand the relationship that God desires to have with me, and the relationship that I can have with God. "

" 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 "

" 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. "

" This was a life-changing book for me and started a long, and often difficult process toward healing some very deep, traumatic wounds from my childhood. "

" A great look at the heart of God and our own hearts and desires. A very honest look a life through the Christian worldview. "

" i read this a long time ago, i honestly don't remember much about it, but i remember not liking it. "

" A must read I think. I also did the accompanying workbook and met weekly with a friend as we worked through it. We still talk about what we learned about ourselves, each other, and God as a result of reading this book together. One of my favorite chapters was on heaven. "

" My Kindle broke in the middle of reading this and I'm not really motivated to find where I was on my husband's Kindle. I was looking forward to the concept of falling more in love with Jesus. But this really did not inspire me the way I expected. "

" the right thing at the right time.....how great that God keeps on reminding us how greatly we are loved... "

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

" 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. "

" This book was a bit cumbersome to get through at times, but definitely spoke some truth into my heart. The last chapter presented a beautiful, inspiring look into eternity and what heaven may be like. "

" A little touchy-feeling and at times flowery to the point of idiocy, but the sentiments truly are novel and inspirational. When used as a devotional, devoid of literary critique, it is a very moving and convicting piece. "

" Love this read, Eldridge draws lines from what we know in our heart and scripture to our real lives. He reminds us that God is our ultimate desire, and ordering our lives with Him as a priority makes lots of other distractions fade away and simplifies our life! "

" Not as good as some of the other books he's written, but have bought it to re read. Maybe the second time around I will find it more value. "

" I know it was written before Journey of Desire, but it's a really good follow-up book. It has continued to tweak me on some things I hadn't processed. "

" 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? "
