Review: CAPTIVATING by John and Stasi Eldredge

In this book, Eldredge tries to do for women what he did for men in Wild at Heart. There are two very serious problems with that.

The first is that he's obviously not a woman. He tries to get around this by having his wife coauthor the book. Since she parrots him so completely, though, the book feels like it has only one author anyway.

The second is even more severe. In his other books, Eldredge has played loose with Scripture, building up a picture of God that looks remarkably like John Eldredge. In that sense, nothing much has changed; though the mold forces God is female instead of male, it still produces a God of his own design,

As always, Eldredge's psychology is good, but his theology is awful. I don't recommend it.
