"The best thing this book did for me was to remind me of how great my childhood was and to give me a glimpse into the lives of women who didn't have the same kind of childhood as I did. There is one chapter that starts out talking about a little girl's dream birthday (the girl was even named Carrie). It pretty much described how I aways felt on my birthday as a little girl - at that point, I realized that this book was maybe not directed at me. I often felt like I already have what the author and his wife her describing as every women's wish.
But that doesn't mean I didn't take something from this book. First of all, I realized how grateful I am for everything I have. Secondly, it reminded me of how important parents are to a little girl's life and how easy it to mess a kid up - this just reinforced how much of a priority I need to make my future children, especially if I have a girl. Thirdly, they talked about following your dreams (and not in a cheesy way...) - a very strong message that is even more important to me now as I get older and as it gets easier and easier to let dreams slip away."
"I'm just not connecting with this book. It comes off smug in my opinion, completely lacking the humility and honor I would expect in a book written for women who love the Lord. I've been tempted to put it down several times, but I'm trying to continue to read it with an "open mind".
Ok, 2 weeks later, I'm done trying now. I just can't read any more of it, the more I read the more irritated I get. There are too many good books out there to be wasting my time on this one. I got almost 1/2 way through, so I can't say for sure it's not worth your time, but I strongly suspect you can skip this one altogether. I wish I had."
"I was recommended this book by my twin sister. I wasnt exactly excited about reading it. However, once I started I couldn't put it down. Captivating isn't a self-help book, or a sermon; far from either. Instead, Captivating is a book about discovery. It sheds light into the areas of a woman's heart most people would dare not even look and gives the reader permission to heal wounds that one didn't even know were there. This book changed my life forever. All it took was the first page and I was hooked."
"Jenn read this book and loved it, then BJ read it and loved it. Doug read two books by John Eldredge and highly recommended them. It's about being the woman God created us to be. We were created in His image - beautiful but we are taught to hide that beauty. We read about the Proverbs 31 woman and feel that it is biblical proof that we don't measure up. We want to be someone's priority. We wanted to be a part of something important before life killed the desire. We won't risk rejection so we hide and remain safe. We don't trust God and so we take matters into our own hands. It felt like a renewal to read this. I realized some of the things I am doing to avoid rejection: being a hermit, not speaking up."
