Synopses & Reviews
There is a glory to life that most people -- including believers -- never see. In this insightful new book, John Eldredge presents the heart as central to life. Not only is the heart essential; the heart God has ransomed is also good. Building on these precious truths, Eldredge shows readers why real Christianity is a process of restoration, whereby the broken parts of our hearts are mended and the captive parts are set free.
In this audiobook version, "Waking the Dead" leads listeners to understand how to live from the heart, care for their heart like the treasures of the kingdom, and give from fullness instead of emptiness. This message also shows how living from the heart can energize people to love God and others in a way they've never experienced, revealing to them life's purpose: fighting for the hearts of others.
