Loading... The Sacred Romance: Drawing Closer to the Heart of Godby Brent Curtis, John Eldredge
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. 2nd floor hall Rated: B This book awakened me to how passionately God seeks a love relationship with me. For me, I saw God as all-knowing -- pure wisdom. He is more. His essence is love -- a passionate love. John Eldridge My biggest insight reading this book is that I have to be willing to give up all my carefully orchestrated plans for "happiness" and trust that God's plan for me, though different perhaps from my plan, will still lead me to happiness - maybe even happiness beyond what I thought I wanted. Ultimately to have a relationship with God, one must be willing to trust Him implicitly. Lots of good stuff about why God loves us and what we're doing here on this earth anyway. I've tried about five times to read this book...nope, still can't. no reviews | add a review

If you long for something more, even if you don't know what that something is, then open this profound book. The Sacred Romance is the story of our lives; it is God's story. It is His invitation to experience His unfathomable love for us. Before long, you will find yourself eagerly turning the pages to find out what happens next. The Sacred Romance strikes a chord in us because more than in any other age, we have lost touch with our hearts. We have left that essential part of ourselves behind in the pursuit of efficiency, success, and even Christian service. From childhood on, something or Someone has called us on a journey of the heart. It is a journey full of intimacy, adventure, and beauty, but like any fairy tale it is also fraught with more than a little danger. To ignore this whispered call is to become one of the living dead who carry on their lives divorced from their most intimate selves, their heart. The Sacred Romance calls to us in our fondest memories, our greatest loves, our noblest achievements, even our deepest hurts. The reward is worth the risk. No library descriptions found. |
