Book Overview

Sometimes it seems we just can't get what we want. Circumstances thwart our best-laid plans. We struggle to live a heartfelt life. Worst of all, says Eldredge, the modern church mistakenly teaches its people to kill desire (calling it sin) and replace it with duty or obligation (calling it sanctification). As a result, at best Christians tend to live safe, boring lives of resignation. At worst, their desire eventually breaks out in destructive ways such as substance abuse, affairs, and pornography addictions. In "The Journey of Desire," Eldredge invites readers to rediscover God-given desire and to search again for the life they once dreamed of.

A great journey

While meeting with a friend at Barnes and Noble, I shared with him a recent experience I had that caused me considerable disappointment and grief. After listening to my story, he disappeared for a few minutes, and when he returned he set a book on the table and told me I had to read it. The book was The Journey of Desire by John Elderidge. I took my friend's word for it and read the book. He was right! I did need to...

Excellent Devotional Work!

I have now read all three of the books in the Sacred Romance series. The last two volumes authored by John Eldridge are far superior to the first volume co-authored with the late Brent Curtis. It appears God has used the painful, tragic death of a close friend to make a much better writer of John Eldridge.This work is not so much about desire for life in itself, but rather about the lack of desire for life and the regaining...

Life IS a gift, and desires ARE okay!

God used this book to teach me that I can live life to the fullest because all my desires are met in going to God. Eldredge touches on how life becomes dull and even depressing when we are fearful of desire...when we kill desire in an effort to be "pure." I learned in a new way that purity means allowing God to show us TRUE desire. We can enjoy an honest, open relationship with God, and we can live life to the potential...

A Monumental Book

From reading the publisher's review above (I wonder if they even read this book) one would have no idea how paradigm-busting this book is. The author takes off on themes that remind me of John Piper's Future Grace, but in my estimation the implications and potential for life change goes way beyond it. The author quotes Gerald May, "There is a desire within each of us, in the deep center of ourselves that we call heart...
