Many women feel pressure to strive to be the women they "ought" to be, often living with the sense that they’ve failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women do nothing but add to the pressure: "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. But her heart is still there.

Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart.

Staci Eldredge wrote Captivating to share that your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. Throughout this study guide, you will:

• Learn how to guard the most important thing about you...your heart.
• Find courage to walk away from the ways we live out of fear.
• Let God tenderly open our wounds to set us free.
• Fight the right enemy, which is not men. And it's not women.
• Possess a beauty that is worth pursuing.
• Our wounds reveal what we are meant to bring to the world.

The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel are telling you of the life God created you to live. Really. 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.

Sessions include:
