  2. John Eldredge _ Wild at Heart Revised and

    True strength does not come out of bravado. Until we are broken, our life will be self-centered, self-reliant; our strength will be our own. So long as you think you are really something in and of yourself, what will you need God for? I don't trust a man who hasn't suffered; I don't let a man get close to me who hasn't faced his wound. Think of the posers you know-are they the kind of man you would call at 2:00 A.M., when life is collapsing around you? Not me. I don't want clichés; I want deep, soulful truth, and that only comes when a man has walked the road I've been talking about.

    don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive, because what the world needs are men who have come alive.

  4. John Eldredge _ Waking the Dead: The Glory of

    somehow we have overlooked the fact this treasured called the heart can also be broken, has been broken, and now lies in pieces down under the surface. When it comes to habits we cannot quit or patterns we cannot stop, anger that flies out of nowhere, fears we cannot overcome, or weaknesses we hate to admit--much of what troubles us comes out of the broken places in our hearts crying out for relief.Jesus speaks as if we are all brokenhearted. We would do well to trust His perspective on this.

    Instead of asking, 'What should a woman do-what is her role?' it would be far more helpful to ask, 'What a woman-what is her design?' and, 'Why did God place Woman in our midst?

  6. John Eldredge _ Wild at Heart Revised and

    A man needs a much bigger orbit than a woman. He needs a mission, a life purpose, and he needs to know his name. Only then is he fit for a woman, for only then does he have something to invite her into.

  9. John Eldredge _ Wild at Heart: Discovering the

    And after years of hearing the heart-cry of women, I am convinced beyond a doubt of this: God wants to be loved. He wants to be a priority to someone. How could we have missed this? From cover to cover, from beginning to end, the cry of God's heart is, "Why won't you choose Me?" It is amazing to me how humble, how God is on this point. "You will . . . find me," says the Lord, "when you seek me with all your heart" {Jer. 29:13}. In other words, "Look for me, pursue me -- I want you to pursue me." Amazing.

  10. John Eldredge _ The Sacred Romance Drawing

    One of the most poisonous of all Satan's whispers is simply, "Things will never change." That lie kills expectation, trapping our heart forever in the present. To keep desire alive and flourishing, we must renew our vision for what lies ahead. Things will not always be like this. Jesus has promised to "make all things new." Eye has not seen, ear has not heard all that God has in store for his lovers, which does not mean "we have no clue so don't even try to imagine," but rather, you cannot outdream God. Desire is kept alive by imagination, the antidote to resignation. We will need imagination, which is to say, we will need hope.

  11. John Eldredge _ The Journey of Desire:

    We are made in the image of God; we carry within us the desire for our true life of intimacy and adventure. To say we want less than that is to lie.
