Captivating

I just finished the book Captivating by Stasi Eldredge. I would have to say it is definately a must read for every woman. It will go on my list of books that changed my life. As soon as I started reading it I couldn't put it down. The first day I read six chapters. In those six chapters I learned a great deal about my heart. I was finally able to let God heal me of wounds that were given long ago and ones that are more recent. I have believed for nearly twenty four years that I should be afraid. I don't think I would have ever been able to verbalize it but I was constantly afraid. I was afraid of sounding dumb, afraid of rejection, afraid my ideas weren't "right". Just afraid in general. Therefore I never really opened up to anyone. I only let people see what I thought would be well reiceived. This book has helped me immensly. A big thank you to Stasi for writing this book.
