 A MUST READ!!! January 16, 2008
This is the first book that I read after 10 years of being devoted solely to the Bible. I had the book for a year till I felt I was ready and it was worth waiting for. The way it is written is so comfortable yet challenging. It is like they read my 'laundry'! It seems that so many Christians have a book for you to read, and there are many good ones out there but I have yet to find one that really speaks to the heart like all his books do. I now have this book with my Bible and look forward to more. The workbook is great and highly recommend doing it with some close friends!!!!!! I did and I grew in myself and with my girlfriends in a way that was lifechanging.

While I'm really sad about what happened to the author, I just couldn't get past the first chapter. I didn't see any practical applications in life, or good advice here. Just flowery feely language trying to allegorize a spiritual relationship with fleshly romance.
 inspirational, but lacks practical November 30, 2007

The first chapter which introduced the book was very inspirational. I was totally inspired to accept what Eldridge and Curtis were saying. They encouraged the reader to pursue a deeper relationship with God. By describing the abundant life that God had for me, that included adventure and intimacy I was totally inspired. This is what I've been waiting for I thought. Then I kept on reading looking forward to the keys to this life. How do I open myself up the live this more abundant life? How do I take part in the sacred romance?
Although it may not have been there purpose, my expectations about life were raised, and then lowered as I have no idea how to get from here to there. I don't want to live a life of dutiful service and small indulgences which is as far as Eldridge and Curtis were willing to take me. I guess the rest of the journey is up to me to figure out.
Highly recommended reading for any Christian June 18, 2007
See my review for the study guide because this is a great study to do with a group of people. Eye opening to say the least.
Fulfilling March 30, 2007
This book really spoke to me and opened my heart to a whole new world: that perhaps God really wants to know us deeply and to love us as a lover does. The idea that we are His children, created by Him, and that we are glorious creatures marred by sin, that our hearts are new and good things once we accept Christ, are crazy ideas in the modern church, but these ideas hold up in scripture. This book has really helped me become closer to God, and closer to His true desire for my life: to live a great adventure with Him. I HIGHLY recommend it.
