Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul

*Note: This book really has a 4.5 star rating!!!
Although there are some sections of the book that are not applicable to me, overall, this is still a good read. Some of my favorite chapters are "Romanced," "Beauty to Unveil," and "Arousing Adam" because they provide insight into the heart of God and the hearts of men and women. The only "beef" I have with this book is that there are some sections of the book that are a bit overdone. By this, I mean that some of the material is a bit too dramatic. In other cases, I just feel like the authors are trying to make something out of nothing. A good example of this is the chapter entitiled "A Special Hatred." This part of the book theorizes, although the authors actually present it as "fact," that Satan targets women because of their beauty. The chapter goes on to draw some other conclusions that I don't agree with because they have no Biblical basis. As with any book, when reading this one, you must not automatically believe everything that you read. Rather, you must listen to the Holy Spirit and discern what is truth and what is not.
