better than "Captivating"
In trying to tell women that GOD loves them no matter what, "Captivating" manages to tell women what is wrong with them. For like 250 pages or something like that. Instead, I like what Baseball Chapel has to say on its women's page:You are a unique woman, living in a unique world, with unique needs. And yet, the Word of God, given thousands of years ago by a loving and compassionate Lord, stands ready to meet each of those needs in a personal way.
He knows you.
He loves you.
He understands what you're going through.
He has the answers you're looking for...
"For whatever was written in earlier times
was written for your instruction,
that through perseverance
and the encouragement of the Scriptures
we might have hope."
Romans 15:4

Well, there's my problem -- not spending consistent time in the Word (I think I already knew that though, really;)... so you finished 'Captivating' and still didn't like it?
that is so absolutely true. i really, really like that :)
I passed this on. Such a beautiful reminder.
"He knows you." I don't know about you all, but that's the one that really gets me. I always feel like noboday really understands me, so remembering that God does - and loves me more than I can comprehend - is just amazing.
'HE knows you' stikes me, too. i also like the 'unique' part. this just sums it up so well.
and no, i haven't finished "captivating" so i spose i still shouldn't judge it.
Yes, definitely -- I always feel that way too. People may "know me so well," but I still often feel misunderstood. God knows all my ins and outs -- and loves me the same and died for me the same. :)
