But a wound unfelt is a wound unhealed.
John Eldredge

Image
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

Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness it's how we begin to love.
John Eldredge
Image
For after years of living in a cage, a lion no longer even believes it is a lion . . . and a man no longer believes he is a man.
John Eldredge
Image
To be in theater you have to be a kind of psychologist, for you're always trying to understand character and motives.
John Eldredge
Image
We don't live in the Garden. We live far from Eden. Every life is full of heartaches. Every life, frankly, is unspeakably sad.
John Eldredge
Image
A true knowledge of Jesus is our greatest need and our greatest happiness.
John Eldredge
Image
Mary had Joseph. Esther had Mordecai. Ruth had Boaz. We will not become the women God intends us to be without the guidance, counsel, wisdom, strength, and love of good men in our lives.
John Eldredge
Image
It takes great courage to be vulnerable. It takes enormous strength to be a real woman.
John Eldredge
Image
Falling in love with God is the most important thing a person can do.
John Eldredge
Image
The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.
