New Releases by Stasi Eldredge

God has dreams—just for you Becoming Myself is a hope-filled book for anyone who wonders if her life will ever change—if she will ever change.In Stasi Eldredge’s most intimate book yet, she shares her own struggles with self-worth, weight, and her past as she shows readers how God is faithfully unveiling who we truly are. Stasi urges you to lay down your past thoughts about yourself and receive God’s incredible dreams for you instead. We cannot heal ourselves. We cannot become ourselves by ourselves. But we are not by ourselves. The King of love wants to help us become. God desires to restore us—the real us. As he heals our inner life, he calls us to rise to the occasion of our lives. The most important journey any woman can take is the journey into becoming her true self through the love of God. It''s a beautiful paradox. The more of God’s you become, the more yourself you become—the “self” he had in mind when he thought of you before the creation of the world. Discover your truest self—the woman God created you to be—in Becoming Myself.

Llegando a Ser Yo Misma es un libro lleno de esperanza para cualquier persona que se pregunte si alguna vez su vida cambiará—si ella alguna vez cambiará. En el libro más íntimo de Stasi Eldredge, ella comparte sus propias luchas con su autovalía, adicción y su pasado a medida que muestra a los lectores cómo Dios fielmente nos lleva a una vida de libertad y de plenitud. Dios desea restaurarnos, y Él es capaz de restaurarnos––a quienes somos en realidad. A medida que Él sana nuestro interior, nos llama a esforzarnos para vencer la dificultad en nuestras vidas. El viaje más importante que cualquier mujer puede tomar, es el viaje a llegar a ser ella misma a través del amor de Dios. Es una hermosa paradoja: mientras más te asemejes a Dios, más llegarás a ser tú misma— la mujer que Él tenía en mente acerca de ti desde antes de la creación del mundo.

Publisher description for Wild at heart: God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.
