Amazon.co.uk
In The Sacred Romance authors Brent Curtis and John Eldredge inspire readers to enter into the greatest romance of all time--one with God. Many Christians have tried to satiate the hunger of their hearts by substituting the love of God with things from this world. Since "our heart is the key to the Christian life", this often leads to spiritual stagnation and unhappiness, while God, the "Great Lover", attempts to lavishly adorn us with His perfect love. Doubting God's goodness coupled with fear of trusting Him blinds the believer and prevents him from being wooed by God into a rich relationship. Life soon becomes empty, cold, and worthless. Through personal narrative, Curtis and Eldredge take turns convincing the reader not only that God is good, but that recklessly abandoning oneself to Him results in a fulfilling life of abundance and awe. In this portrayal of God's character, the obvious error lies in believing that He could need anything from His creatures, or that He could be "hurt" by their unrequited love. On the whole, however, this is a call to a more passionate relationship with the lover of our souls. A follow-up book, The Journey of Desire, was written by John Eldredge after Brent Curtis' tragic death. --Jill Heatherly

One never knows why tragedy strikes but if it is God's will that Brent Curtis' tragic death somehow brings more notoriety to this book in order to help people strengthen their faith and that John Eldredge can come out and say his friend's death only reaffirms to him what they wrote in this book then I praise God that John sincerely believes the truths that he shares with us because I certainly do.
After hearing Chuck Swindoll recommend this book I picked myself up a copy of the Sacred Romance. Few books better characterize the passionate relationship God seeks with us despite our sinfulness and faults. I highly recommend anyone who enjoys this book to also pick up a copy of the Journey of Desire, the sequel to this book. Coupled together they highlight powerful truths about God and about our lives that may shake the way you view your very existence. Life is a struggle and both Curtis and Eldredge can empathize with you. And certinaly it carries the mark of any doctrinally sound book -- that in the midst of disappointment, pain or heart break,no relgious formulas, traditions or idols will give you the healing, fulfillment or joy that you REALLY seek -- they point you back to God for all the answers. That is why I also say as good as this book is the best it can do is point you back to God and the Bible for that is where the story of God's sacred romance with us is unveiled! God bless.

This is an incredibly awesome book for those who: --feel they have a sense of 'spirituality', yet have difficulty with religion --want answers for their sense of longing --feel empty --know Christ --knew Him well at one time and now feel distant,longing for that closeness once again
It is just about for everyone.
I couldn't put it down and have gone back to my underlined pages over and over. It is hard not to tell everyone I know about (I have told many). There would be few who could read it and not be moved. I have just ordered four more copies for my friends. Order it, read it, ....be blessed. (Deb P.)

I was amazed at the beauty and detail of this book. The topics of The Fall and Heaven were especially interesting. This reading is great for seasoned and new Christians alike. I imagine it would be a spiritual boost to even the non Christian as it addresses questions like "Why is there evil in the world?" with a new edge. Of the many pieces I've read on the Character of God and the meaning of life, this is the only one I feel passionately enough to recommend. A must have!

Working out their angst without power to change.
The authors seem to be in a Romans 7 spiral, downward, without the promise of the power of Romans 8 to change, heal, forgive or forget. Lesen Sie weiter...
