And now for our BIG announcement!!<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

When we start thinking of new bible studies, we always look for something that will be interesting, and life-changing! \u00a0When we decided upon this next study, we felt it was the perfect study for our Singles Group! \u00a0We hope you agree!<\/p>\n

Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams.\u00a0She 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. \u00a0And yet\u2015how many women do you know who ever find that life? As the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed aside, wounded, buried.\u00a0She finds no romance except in novels, no adventure except on television, and she doubts very much that she will ever be the Beauty in any tale.<\/p>\n

Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, chores, and errands, striving to be the women they “ought” to be but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christen women 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.\u00a0But her heart is still there. Sometimes when she watches a movie, sometimes in the wee hours of the night, her heart begins to speak again. A thirst rises within her to find the life she was meant to live\u2015the life she dreamed of as a little girl.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
The message of\u00a0Captivating<\/i>\u00a0is 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.\u00a0A woman who is truly captivating.<\/div>\n

In 2001, John Eldredge’s book “Wild at Heart” explored the inner life of Christian men–and became a bestseller. Now, he and his wife Stasi have teamed up to write “<\/i>Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul<\/strong><\/span>.”<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
