There really is something wonderful that draws our heart we are being wooed… He created us for himself and now is moving heaven and earth to restore us to his side…he seeks to free our hearts from the attachments and addictions we’ve chosen. Our Story is written by God who is more than author, he is the romantic lead in our personal dramas.
He loved us before the beginning of time, has come for us, and now calls us to a journey toward him, with him… a journey of heroic proportions.a journey of the heart. To rediscover who God really is-and how deeply and well He loves us. Our own stories and longings are interwoven with a wooing of God to draw us to Himself. A journey “into God’s heart, our true home.” We cannot hear this voice if we have lost touch with our heart.Įldredge reminds us of our most important journey ever-a journey of redemption. Sadly, many of us get busy with life and activities-even worthwhile things-and we never seem to have enough time to deepen our relationship with God.
God Himself longs for us, if we are but willing…Įldredge reminds us of God’s invitation to come-and find life and meaning and greater love. The Sacred Romance calls to us in our fondest memories, our greatest loves, our noblest achievements, even our deepest hurts. It is a journey full of intimacy, adventure, beauty, and more than a little danger. (Below, the John Eldredge quotes are in bold ,and my comments are in regular text.)įrom childhood on, something or Someone has called us on a journey of the heart. Quotes from “The Sacred Romance” by John Eldredge My hope is that they will resonate with you, make you think-and encourage you in your faith walk in profoundly positive ways.
I want to share some of his most profound and life-changing quotes. While he has a new book coming out in 2020 (which I will write more about in coming weeks), it’s Eldredge’s first book (written with his friend, Brent Curtis) that captured my attention and changed me nearly two decades ago: The Sacred Romance: Drawing Close to the Heart of God.
He was present, interested in what I had to say, and sincerely warm and friendly. Recently, I had the honor of meeting one of my favorite authors, John Eldredge. You may know him from his runaway bestsellers such as, Wild at Heart, The Sacred Romance or Waking the Dead.Īuthor, counselor and teacher John Eldredge, president of Ransomed Heart ministries, is the real deal.
