New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God’s promise for a new heaven and a new earth.

This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home–the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with “the renewal of all things,” by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed “when the world is made new.”

More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day; if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you–not in a vague heaven but right here on this earth–you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, “an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God” (Hebrews 6:19).

Most Christians (most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.

Reading the Gospels without knowing the personality of Jesus is like watching television with the sound turned off. The result is a dry, two dimensional person doing strange, undecipherable things.

In BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He’d say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass.

In the author’s winsome, narrative approach, he breaks Jesus out of the typical stereotypes, just as he set masculinity free in his book, Wild at Heart. By uncovering the real Jesus, readers are welcomed into the rich emotional life of Christ. All of the remarkable qualities of Jesus burst like fireworks with color and brilliance because of his humanity.

Eldredge goes on to show readers how they can experience this Jesus in their lives every day. This book will quicken readers’ worship, and deepen their intimacy with Jesus.

This expanded edition features a new bonus chapter where Stasi answers the top Captivating questions.

Every little girl has dreams of being swept up into a great adventure, of being the beautiful princess. Sadly, when women grow up, they are often swept up into a life filled merely with duty and demands. Many Christian women are tired, struggling under the weight of the pressure to be a “good servant,” a nurturing caregiver, or a capable home manager.

What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating is doing for women. Setting their hearts free. This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be. By revealing the core desires every woman shares-to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty-John and Stasi Eldredge invite women to recover their feminine hearts, created in the image of an intimate and passionate God. Further, they encourage men to discover the secret of a woman’s soul and to delight in the beauty and strength women were created to offer.

Captivating

The bestselling book that has transformed the lives of millions of women, revised and expanded.

What Wild at Heart does for men, Captivating does for women: set their hearts free. This groundbreaking book helps readers by:

• providing a look into the glorious design of women;
• describing how the feminine heart can be restored;
• casting a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be; and
• healing the trauma of the past.

The message of Captivating is this: your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman–a woman who is truly captivating.

This dramatic retelling of the gospel illuminates the unique role we can play in the amazing story God is telling.

Sure, good things happen, sometimes beautiful things. But tragic things happen too. What does it mean? We find ourselves in the middle of a story that is sometimes wonderful, sometimes awful, usually a confusing mixture of both, and we haven’t a clue how to make sense of it all. No wonder we keep losing heart.

We need to know the rest of the story.

For when we were born, we were born into the midst of a great story begun before the dawn of time. A story of adventure, of risk and loss, heroism . . . and betrayal. A story where good is warring against evil, danger lurks around every corner, and glorious deeds wait to be done. Think of all those stories you’ve ever loved. There’s a reason they stirred your heart. They’ve been trying to tell you about the true Epic ever since you were young.

There is a larger story and you have a crucial role to play.

In an age when fathers are more important than ever, how do you embark on your journey to manhood and know how to steer clear of the dangers along the way? In Fathered by God, New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reminds us that there’s a path to masculinity and, best of all, there’s a loving Father ready to help us follow it.

In Fathered by God, Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our Father, and he wants to show us what masculinity really means. Eldredge teaches us that there’s a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by generation after generation of men. There are perils along the trail, even disasters–all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a Father who has gone before us.

A boy has a lot to learn in his journey to becoming a man, and it takes the active intervention of father figures and the fellowship of other men to guide us along the way. Eldredge shares that in all of life’s trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood.

Through personal stories and practical guidance, Eldredge provides a map through the six stages of a man’s journey and answers some of the most common questions about manhood that he’s received over the years, including:

• How can I set a good example for my son?
• What does the Bible teach us about masculinity?
• How can I become the man that God designed me to be?

Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood–not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a well-worn path that men have followed for centuries before us. Discover the truth about masculinity and become the man that God sees in you.

Are you ready to get your life back? Join New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge as he shares practical, simple, and refreshing tips for living fully.

By incorporating a few simple practices–what John calls “graces”–you can begin to recover your soul, disentangle from the tragedies of this broken world, and discover the restorative power of beauty.

These simple practices are yours for the taking. You don’t need to abandon your life to get it back–in fact, John shares that you can start restoring your life here and now. Get Your Life Back will give you the tools you need to:

• Begin practicing “benevolent detachment” and truly let it all go
• Offer kindness toward yourself in the choices you make

God wants to strengthen and renew your soul, and Jesus longs to give you more of himself. The world may be harsh, but God is gentle; he knows what your daily life is like. All we need to do is put ourselves in places that allow us to receive his help. Let this book show you how and your soul will thank you for it.

You don’t need to abandon your life to get it back. You can restore it with sustainable practices that are within your reach. And you will never be the same…

We live in soul-scorching times. The 24-7 onslaught of contemporary life–with its never-ending feed of global tragedies, demands for our attention, and pressures of work, family, and friends–has left us feeling ragged, wrung-out, and emptied. But if we have no margin in our lives, how do we find room to change anything?

In this life-changing audio Bible study, John Eldredge distills a lifetime of wisdom into five practical and ready-to-implement practices for putting your life back together:

1. The one-minute pause,

The Challenge Before You Is a Bold One: To Accept the Wild, Daring Adventure of Becoming a Man

We want to be self-sufficient. Find our own direction as we pursue our dreams. Know it all and never ask for help. Isn’t this how most guys approach manhood? On our own, pretending we are doing better than we really are? But sooner or later the thrill of independence gets lost in the fog of isolation.

It’s time to take the pressure off. We were never meant to figure life out on our own.

This book was born out of a series of weekly phone calls between Sam Eldredge, a young writer in his twenties, and his dad, best-selling author John Eldredge. Join the conversation as a father and son talk about pursuing beauty, dealing with money, getting married, chasing dreams, knowing something real with God, and how to find a life you can call your own.

Killing Lions is more than fatherly advice. It is an invitation into a journey: either to be the son who receives fathering or the father who learns what must be spoken. Most important, these conversations speak to a searching generation: “You are not alone. Its not all up to you. You are going to find your way.”

New York Times best-selling author of Wild at Heart John Eldredge offers readers a step-by-step guide to effective Christian prayer.

How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance—certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference?

It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That’s because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don’t appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings—especially when we don’t know if we’re doing something wrong or if some prayers just don’t work.

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge confronts these issues directly in Moving Mountains by offering a hopeful approach to prayer that is effective, relational, and rarely experienced by most Christians.

In a world filled with danger, adventure, and wonder, we have at our disposal prayers that can transform the events and issues that matter most to us and to God. Moving Mountains shows you how to experience the power of daily prayer, learn the major types of prayers—including those of intervention, consecration, warfare, and healing—and to discover the intimacy of the cry of the heart prayer, listening prayer, and praying Scripture.

Things can be different, and you personally have a role to play with God in bringing about that change through prayer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is your invitation to engage in the kind of prayers that can move God’s heart as well as the mountains before you.

Moving Mountains is also available in Spanish, Mueve montañas. To dive deeper into the Moving Mountains message, the Moving Mountains study guide and video study are available now.

In Luke 11:1, the disciples asked Jesus, “Teach us to pray!” Most of us want to know more about how prayer works. While we are used to offering up prayers, we wonder if we are praying in the most effective way or if we are approaching the throne of God in the “right” way. We ask ourselves:

• How do I listen for God?
• How do I pray for healing?
• How do I pray when I am under spiritual attack?
• How do I pray to break through strongholds of habitual sin?
• How do I pray for protection?
• How do I pray for my lost friends and family?

In this eight-session study, bestselling author John Eldredge shows how we labor under the misconception that prayer is asking God to intervene instead of partnering with him to get things done. This faulty assumption leads to untold confusion and grief when we ask of God but can’t sense He hears us–or even cares. Rather, Jesus says, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:19). When we operate from this position, we approach prayer with far greater confidence. We understand we have a role in making change happen and are not victims of circumstance–that we are sons and daughters of God bestowed with tremendous authority.

John Eldredge reviso y amplio su fenomenal best seller, Salvaje de corazon, e invita a los hombres a convertirse en seres mas completos mediante:

• recuperar su corazon masculino;
• verse a si mismos en la imagen de un Dios apasionado; y
• deleitarse con la fuerza y el desenfreno para el que fueron creados.

En este libro que cambia vidas, John Eldredge ofrece una mirada al interior del verdadero corazon de un hombre y les da permiso a los hombres para ser como Dios los diseno: arriesgados, apasionados, vivos y libres.

Wild at Heart

John Eldredge has revised and expanded his phenomenal bestseller, Wild at Heart,

and invites men to become more complete by:

• recovering their masculine heart;
• seeing themselves in the image of a passionate God; and
• delighting in the strength and wildness that they were created to offer.

In this life-changing book, John Eldredge provides a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be–dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

The world and our lives reflect the heart of God. Every fiber of our beings our desires, and the deepest longings of our souls reflect the beautiful themes of his person. In The Refreshed Heart, join John Eldredge as he explores what God has designed into us and the workings of the world that reflect who he is. With powerful readings from best-selling books such Epic, Waking the Dead, and Desire, you will discover three truths:

• You are part of the story God is telling, and you have a unique role to play.
• Your heart is enormously important to the God who made you, and
• Intimacy with God is the ultimate purpose of your design.

I can fix it. I don’t need directions. I can figure this out on my own. These thoughts that erupt from a man’s bravado, from his deep urge to be a real man. Yet underneath this, there is a louder voice countering, You can’t. You’re not capable. You’re weak. Many men-possibly all men-face two looming questions at some point in their life. What does it mean to be a man, and am I one?Way of the Wild Heart reaches out to “unfinished men” trying to understand and live their role as men and fathers. Exploring six biblically based stages, John Eldredge initiates men into a new understanding and ownership of their manhood and equips them to effectively lead their sons to manhood.

Wild at Heart helped men get their hearts back.

Waking the Dead will help us all find the life Christ promised.

Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself.

Just look at what happens when people are touched by Jesus–the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life. In other words, to be touched by God is to be restored. To become all God meant you to be. That is what Christianity is supposed to do for you–make you whole, set you free, bring you fully alive.

But Jesus also warned that the path to that life is narrow, and few people would find it. You’ll notice few have. Waking the Dead will help you find that life, see the fierce battle over your heart, and embrace all that God has for you.

There is so much more. Do you want it?

Praise for Waking the Dead:

“John’s words have empowered and encouraged me. I am so grateful that my heart is awake and alive, and I, even as a tender, deeply feminine woman, am fierce and capable of great things . . . of being a vital part of the advancement of the kingdom. And that alone is what my heart is after.” –Jenny from Columbia, SC

“I have been half-alive for too long now . . . I’m awake and alive again; clarity is what I needed. I feel like I just got drenched with cool water on a very hot day.” –Chris from Colorado Springs, CO

“It’s one thing to want a deeper connection with God–it’s a whole different level to realize that my heart is the treasure of God . . . This is a book of incredible wealth.” –Tim from San Luis Obispo, CA

In Walking with God, Eldredge teaches us that creating a dialogue with God is the single most life-changing habit we can adopt because it brings us back to our source of life. But why is it that most of us have never been taught how to have a conversation with our Creator?

In this revised and updated edition of his classic Walking with God, Eldredge opens his personal journals to tell a year’s worth of stories about walking and talking with the Lord.

Walking with God follows Eldredge’s own journey to growing closer to the Lord through all four seasons:

• Summer: a time of restoration and renewal, and for finding our way back to joy
• Fall: a season of struggle, but then breakthrough and discovery
• Winter: finding God in our losses, in the mundane, and sustaining our hearts over what can feel like the long path of obedience
• Spring: a time of resurrection, recovered hope and desire, a time of new beginnings

Walking with God reminds us that it is our deepest need, as human beings, to learn to live intimately with God. If you’re ready to recover this part of your life, let Walking with God be your guide along the way.

This expanded edition features a new bonus chapter where John answers the top Wild at Heart questions.

Every man was once a boy. And every little has dreams, big dreams, dreams of being the hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress. Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty.

But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are . . . bored.

John Eldredge revises and updates his best-selling, renowned Christian classic, Wild at Heart, and in it invites men to recover their masculine heart, defined in the image of a passionate God. And he invites women to discover the secret of a man’s soul and to delight in the strength and wildness men were created to offer. John Eldredge is the director of Ransomed Heart

Have you had it with the pressure to be a nice guy?

In this updated edition of the bestselling classic, Wild at Heart, author John Eldredge reminds men we need adventure in our lives . . . in our work, in our love, and our spiritual lives. He reveals how God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desires–aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a “nice guy.” It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death.

So, instead of asking what you think you ought to do to become a better man, John asks us in this study, “What makes you come alive? What stirs your heart?” Join John and his band of brothers as they share stories of the deep wounds of their earlier years that took away their confidence and–in some cases–their masculinity.

Their stories and John’s teaching surface these important discoveries:

• Men are haunted by the question, Do I have what it takes?
• Our deepest wound comes from our fathers, and shapes us for the rest of our lives
• In a world that emasculates men, we long to be the hero – we have a battle to fight!
• We are searching for a beauty to love
• We are wired for an adventure to live

Men, it’s time to recover our masculine heart, and step into the identity that God designed for us–dangerous, passionate, alive, and free!

Sessions include:

1. The Heart of a Man (19:00)
2. The Power (20:00)
3. The Wound (20:00)
4. The Battle (21:00)
