More quotes by John Eldredge
Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness it's how we begin to love.
John Eldredge
The real you is on the side of God against the false self
John Eldredge
Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.
John Eldredge
He is the playfulness of creation, scandal and utter goodness, the generosity of the ocean and the ferocity of a thunderstorm he is cunning as a snake and gentle as a whisper the gladness of sunshine and the humility of a thirty-mile walk by foot on a dirt road.
John Eldredge
To be in theater you have to be a kind of psychologist, for you're always trying to understand character and motives.
John Eldredge
A true knowledge of Jesus is our greatest need and our greatest happiness.
John Eldredge
We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it.
John Eldredge
We are made in the image of God we carry within us the desire for our true life of intimacy and adventure. To say we want less than that is to lie.
John Eldredge
We think you'll find that every woman in her heart of hearts longs for three things: to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty. That's what makes a woman come alive.
John Eldredge
A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family.
John Eldredge
Every man is a warrior inside. But the choice to fight is his own.
John Eldredge
Falling in love with God is the most important thing a person can do.
John Eldredge
Faith looks back and draws courage hope looks ahead, and keeps desire alive.
John Eldredge
To find God, you must look with all your heart. To remain present to God, you must remain present to your heart. To hear his voice, you must listen with all your heart. To love him, you must love with all your heart. You cannot be the person God meant you to be, and you cannot live the life he meant you to live, unless you live from the heart.
John Eldredge
It takes great courage to be vulnerable. It takes enormous strength to be a real woman.
John Eldredge
Caring for your heart is also how you protect your relationship with God... [The heart] is where we commune with him. It is where we hear his voice. Most of the folks I know who have never heard God speak to them are the same folks who live far from their hearts.
John Eldredge
How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman’s function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. (What’s Wrong with the World)
John Eldredge
In the end, it doesn’t matter how well we have performed or what we have accomplished—a life without heart is not worth living.
John Eldredge
We don't see clearly because we don't see with the eyes of our heart.
John Eldredge
Most of us live in a fog. It's like life is a movie we arrived to 20 minutes late. You know something important seems to be going on. But we can't figure out the story. We don't know what part we're supposed to play or what the plot is.
