Beautiful Outlaw

Author: John Eldredge

In Beautiful Outlaw, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the evil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He'd say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass.

Desire

Author: John Eldredge

In Desire John Eldredge writes, "There is a secret set within each of our hearts.  It is the desire for life as it was meant to be."  Yet how do we uncover our desires and learn to decipher them?  As John says, "We all share the same dilemma--we long for life and we're not sure where to find it.  We wonder if we ever do find it, can we make it last?...We must journey to find the life we prize.  And the guide we have been given is the desire set deep within, the desire we often overlook or mistake for something else or choose to ignore.  The greatest human tragedy is to give up the search."
