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.

The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.
John Eldredge
Image
Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness it's how we begin to love.
John Eldredge
Image
A man's calling is written on his true heart, and he discovers it when he enters the frontier of his deep desires.

Every man is a warrior inside. But the choice to fight is his own.
John Eldredge
Image
God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.
John Eldredge
Image
Every man carries a wound. I have never met a man without one. No matter how good your life may have seemed to you, you live in a broken world full of broken people.
John Eldredge

It is the thoughts and intents of the heart that shape a person's life.

The point is the love story. We live in a love story in the midst of war.
John Eldredge
Image
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.

We don't see clearly because we don't see with the eyes of our heart.
