I started reading this book, I had been wanting to read it for quite a while, so I had another book to return today, thus I found this book at the library when I returned my other book, and there were already a couple passages that struck me. I'm not going to dive into them tonight, but thought I would share them with you.
"Some time between the dreams of your youth and yesterday, something precious has been lost. And that treasure is your heart, your priceless feminine heart. God has set within you a femininity that is powerful and tender, fierce and alluring. No doubt it has been misunderstood. Surely it has been assaulted. But it is there, your true heart, and it is worth recovering. You are captivating." -Captivating
"Ruth may have been a lovely, strong woman, but it is to her unrelenting courage and vulnerability and faith in God that Boaz is drawn. Esther is the most beautiful woman in the land, but it is her bravery and her cunning, good heart that moves the king to spare her people. It isn't about dresses and make up. Beauty is so important that we'll come back to it again and again in this book. For now,
don't you recognize that woman yearns to be seen, and to be thought of as captivating? We desire to possess beauty that is worth pursuing, worth fighting for, a beauty that is the core to who we truly are. We want beauty that can be seen; beauty that can be felt beauty that affects others; a beauty all our own to unveil." -Captivating
