I would like to ask: Is it a feminine trait to want and need to be rescued? I would like to explore one aspect of the Eldredge’s philosophy in their books today, though, and just ask if it’s actually in the Bible. But I understand that many women were ministered to by the idea that God is captivated by them, and that God loves and adores them. I do have some concerns about how the book handled issues of abuse and objectification, and I may write more about that in the future (I’m not promising anything!). While most people agreed with me, there were far more than normal speaking up and saying that the book was actually really good, and I was taking it out of context. I may have done a Fixed-it-for-you-too-far last night on social media, critiquing John Eldredge for calling women’s souls “a bloody mess” in the book Captivating, that he co-authored with his wife Stasi.
