Publisher's summary

From childhood on, something or Someone has called us on a journey of the heart. It is a journey full of intimacy, adventure, beauty, and more than a little danger. The Sacred Romance calls to us in our fondest memories, our greatest loves, our noblest achievements, even our deepest hurts. The reward is worth the risk. God Himself longs for us, if we are but willing.

First published in 1997, The Sacred Romance is quietly on its way to becoming a classic. Why have so many people connected so powerfully to the book? Authors Brent Curtis and John Eldredge put words to long-forgotten feelings. They voice our unspoken fears about God's goodness and our own emptiness. Without being preachy or cliche, the authors offer a glimpse of God's heart that is tender, risky, and compelling. The Sacred Romance is the story of our lives; it is God's story. It is His invitation to experience the beauty, intimacy, and adventure we secretly desire.

Deeply Thought Provoking

This is a deeply touching, thought provoking and life changing book. It gives the heart words that describe where our a deepest longings, disappointments and desires originate and reside. It's a dive beyond the religious and into what makes us truly human. The narration was spot on. A worthy read.

Incredible book about an incredible God

Amazing book. The way God spoke to me through this was such a huge event in my journey with Him. I am grateful for the gifts God gave Brent and John to provide us with such a book. I would recommend it to anyone.

As a side note, it would help to fix the chapter divisions ;)

Before you give up on life and block your heart.

If you are soft hearted, this book will speak to you and understand your hearts disappointments if you give it a chance to speak to your mind and into your heart. A survival guide for healing.

Wonderful!!!

I loved this book. It's like a kiss from God. Until I really sat down and listened to this book, I didn't understand the emptiness and dryness I was feeling inside. I am excited to continue my journey with God surrendering myself while He uncovers my buried heart.

loved hearing the authors testimony of Christ

The plan of salvation brings us hope . I loved the poetic expressions and the perspective the authors bring to our personal relationship to our Saviour.
