I've always thought workbooks were kinda' silly. I mean, shouldn't the book itself guide you through its content? Why do you need a second book to help you understand the first. The only guidebook I've ever found that wasn't silly was Experiencing God, but that's a different story.

This guidebook does ask some good questions and should be considered vital if anyone is leading a study of this book. It enables one to articulate their thoughts better. It is, however, mostly blank space for answers to the questions (why not just include the questions in the back of the original book...arg Capitalism!).

All in all, if you're leading a study of this book, it might be a good idea to pick this bad boy up. If not, save your cash and see if you can make it through the book without the guidebook.

I find John Eldredge's approach to looking at our relationship with God to be very unique. It is such a personal approach befitting a true relationship. It is not sappy. Nor is it magical thinking. As a journal and guide it challenges me to put my heart into action to live a fuller life. I meet with two good friends from work and we use this as a discussion guide. It has significantly enriched our friendship and helped us better support one another in our life journey. Thank you John.

Wonderful book for men, but I read as a mother of boys and got a lot of insight on myself as well as I relate to men in my life and the impact they have made on me. It is a eye opening book that is so great to read. It broadens the soul and heart.

I cannot express how impressed I am with this guided journal. It will help anyone understand their desire and put it into perspective. I would recommend this to anyone! A definite "must buy."

fantastic tool for discovering your heart, and discovering where/how God has been leading you all along
