Captivating

As I wrote in the previous entry in Chinese, I’ve gotten hold of this book called "Captivating – Unveiling the mystery of a woman’s soul". Seldom do you actually learn something new from books like "this" – what to do, who you are, how we get to the answer, etc. But I have to say that there are things in this book that I haven’t heard of before – that is not to say that at some point of the book I don’t find certain "rigmarole ", and by that I only mean things that we all know already and have heard about.

With that said, however, this book really has made me come to see the splendor in God’s creation of a woman, and that is breathtakingly beautiful. What does a woman bear of the image of God, her beauty, her strength, her vulnerability and her restfulness.

I am a little tired to rewrite what I wrote in the previosu entry in English, but here’s a passage from the book that I particularly enjoyed that I wish to share with you; it is on the romantic nature of God and how he loves you as a lover.

"Every song you love, every memory you cherish, every moment that has moved you to holy tears has been given to you from the One who has been pursuing you from your first breath in order to win your heart. God’s version of flowers and chocolates and candlelight dinners comes in the form of sunsets and falling stars, moonlight on lakes and cricket symphonie; warm wind, swaying trees, lush gardens, and fierce devotion.

This romancing is immensely personal. It will be as if it has been scripted for your heart." (Chapter seven, page 116)
