We offer a number of books and
guided journals that present our message and our
mission.First came The Sacred Romance
by Brent Curtis and
John Eldredge. Life is more than chores,
and Christianity is more than duty. It is a Sacred
Romance - a great love story set in the midst
of a life and death battle. This little treasure is
on its way to becoming a classic, not because of our
brilliance, but because it recovers the treasure of
the Gospel. Together with its workbook,
it offers a journey towards personal restoration
through intimacy with a healing God.
Desire arrived ... or was birthed ...
out of the pain of Brent's death. But we all share
the same dilemma - we long for life, and we're not
sure where to find it. Sooner or later
life will break your heart. Or numb it, bury it, set
it aside. But there is nothing of greater importance
than the life of our deep heart. And if we are to
bring our hearts along in our life's journey, we
simply must not, we cannot, abandon our desire. How
you handle your deep
desires is how you handle your heart.
Wild at Heart had been stirring in John for many,
many years before it was written. There is something
fierce, passionate, and wild in the heart of every
man. That is how he bears the
image of God. And the reason most men "live lives of
quiet desperation" (Thoreau) is because men have
been told that the reason God put them on earth is
to be a good boy. To be nice.
But every man longs for a battle to fight, an
adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.
Waking the Dead explores the power of God's New
Covenant with us - the power to restore our hearts
and set them free. For the heart of the believer is
no longer wicked - it is good. Your
heart is good. How God restores us is usually
experienced through Four Streams: Counseling,
Healing, Walking with God, and Spiritual Warfare.
This is how we discover that “the glory of
God is man fully alive” (St. Irenaeus).
In Epic we explore the Larger Story. Think of all
those movies you’ve ever loved, the stories
that have stirred your heart - there’s a reason they
move you so. They’ve been trying to tell
you about the true Epic ever since you were young.
It is a breathtaking story, and you play a crucial
role.
Captivating - the counterpart to Wild at Heart. Most
women think they have to settle for a life
of efficiency and duty, chores and errands, striving
to be the woman they feel they ought to be but often
feeling they have failed. The message of Captivating
is this: The desires you had as a little girl and
the longings you still feel as a woman--they are
telling you of the life God meant
you to live. He offers to come now, as the Hero of
your story--to restore your feminine heart
and release you to live as a woman, fully alive. A
woman who is truly captivating!
The Way of the Wild Heart - This is a book about how
a boy - and a man -become a man. It's a guide to the
process of masculine initiation--that ancient path
every boy and man must take
if they would become the man they long to be. The
path whereby they come to know they are
a man and are able to live and love from a deep,
centered strength.
Walking with God is a year in the life
of walking with God. It explores a practical,
day to day conversational intimacy with God and
illustrates how hearing God's voice is simply a
normal part of the Christian life. |
