Captivating (Stasi Eldredge)
Most women think they have to settle for a life of duty, trying hard to "do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman," yet feeling like a failure.

He offers to come now, as the Hero of your story—to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.
