Publisher Description
Wild at Heart helped men get their hearts back.
Waking the Dead will help us all find the life Christ promised.
Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself.
Just look at what happens when people are touched by Jesus—the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life. In other words, to be touched by God is to be restored. To become all God meant you to be. That is what Christianity is supposed to do for you—make you whole, set you free, bring you fully alive.
But Jesus also warned that the path to that life is narrow, and few people would find it. You’ll notice few have. Waking the Dead will help you find that life, see the fierce battle over your heart, and embrace all that God has for you.
There is so much more. Do you want it?
Praise for Waking the Dead:
“John’s words have empowered and encouraged me. I am so grateful that my heart is awake and alive, and I, even as a tender, deeply feminine woman, am fierce and capable of great things . . . of being a vital part of the advancement of the kingdom. And that alone is what my heart is after.” —Jenny from Columbia, SC
“I have been half-alive for too long now . . . I’m awake and alive again; clarity is what I needed. I feel like I just got drenched with cool water on a very hot day.” —Chris from Colorado Springs, CO
“It’s one thing to want a deeper connection with God—it’s a whole different level to realize that my heart is the treasure of God . . . This is a book of incredible wealth.” —Tim from San Luis Obispo, CA

" I'm finding all of Eldredge's books incredibly insightful and life-changing. "
— Natalie, 5/13/2011 -
" I am currently reading this as a devotional much like I did with John's book on Walking with God. Oh to live with a heart fully alive, the way God created us. This is a great book to help heal soul hurts as well. "
— Susan, 3/28/2011 -
" The first of John Eldredge's books I read. I like his concepts, but I think he is almost overly passionate for his own good. And not the good kind. Its passion without full knowledge. "
— Kelli, 2/24/2011 -
" In Waking the Dead, Eldredge does a great job integrating all four “streams” of the believer’s life: discipleship, counseling, healing and warfare. For those familiar with Eldredge’s other books, this one will pleasantly surprise you. "
— Dan, 2/12/2011 -
" I have taught this book in a sunday school class and read it twice myself. It's a wonderfully great book about spiritual warfare and how it affects our lives on a daily basis. "
— Tiffany, 1/2/2011 -
" The last few chapters really brought his message home to me and my heart. This book has been a blessing to me fro God. "
— Matthew, 1/1/2011 -
" This book takes literature from American history, and applies it to the story of our lives, in an eye opening way. John Eldredge truly understands the 'HEART' of life, and Love. "
— Travis, 12/5/2010 -
" My all-time favorite of the Eldredge books! "
— Jo, 10/26/2010 -
" Definitely a wake up call. A much needed one. Planning to paint Ephesians 5:14b to see each morning when I wake up. <br/>"Wake up, O sleeper, <br/> rise from the dead, <br/> and Christ will shine on you." "
— Timilyn, 7/11/2010 -
" "David Copperfield" makes a more convincing claim that a loving heart is the truest wisdom. <br/>But I liked this book. "
— Robert, 4/26/2010 -
" I'm rereading this right now. I think it's one of the books I will read again and again all my life, whenever I need reminding that there are good things in me to be shared. "
