    About this audiobook

    Wild at Heart helped men get their hearts back.

    Waking the Dead will help us all find the life Christ promised.

    Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself.

    Just look at what happens when people are touched by Jesus—the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life. In other words, to be touched by God is to be restored. To become all God meant you to be. That is what Christianity is supposed to do for you—make you whole, set you free, bring you fully alive.

    But Jesus also warned that the path to that life is narrow, and few people would find it. You’ll notice few have. Waking the Dead will help you find that life, see the fierce battle over your heart, and embrace all that God has for you.

    There is so much more. Do you want it?

    Praise for Waking the Dead:

    “John’s words have empowered and encouraged me. I am so grateful that my heart is awake and alive, and I, even as a tender, deeply feminine woman, am fierce and capable of great things . . . of being a vital part of the advancement of the kingdom. And that alone is what my heart is after.” —Jenny from Columbia, SC

    “I have been half-alive for too long now . . . I’m awake and alive again; clarity is what I needed. I feel like I just got drenched with cool water on a very hot day.” —Chris from Colorado Springs, CO

    “It’s one thing to want a deeper connection with God—it’s a whole different level to realize that my heart is the treasure of God . . . This is a book of incredible wealth.” —Tim from San Luis Obispo, CA

      This is a good book if you can get past the first four chapters. It took me a really really long time to read past the first four chapters but once I did it really picked up and I thought was an enjoyable book. It is a book that shows you that we are meant for adventure and a fulfilled life.

      Powerful book about heart recovery.
      Loved it! Great gift.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book beautifully written , give a clear understanding of the heart
    • 5/5
      A most inspirational book that gives the reader step-by-step directions on how to live a life, fully alive. Logical and reasonable explanations with hundreds of scriptures from the Bible to explain how easy it is to believe the lie and never think twice about what is reality and what is not. Supported with great analogies that cause the spirit within you to rise up and begin to fight back for what is rightfully mine as a child of the King.Only the second book that I've thirsted after and gotten the audio version!!!!
    • 5/5
      The battle is happening. There is a war for our hearts. I have been on the wrong side of the battle for my heart, agreeing with what the Enemy was declaring. I now see where I once was blind, and by the grace of God, am now on the side with Jesus -- fighting to live fully alive in my heart seeping with truth. I put on my full armor each day to care for my heart. "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of LIFE." This book is one tactic in my strategy to keep fighting for the abundant life Jesus died to give me. Thank you for giving words and myths to pull back the curtain on the schemes of the enemy.
    • 5/5
      Another one that you may not agree with on everything. An important book. Immensely helpful to me.
    • 5/5
      Bar none, the best treatment of the importance and power of the gospel for this life (not just for eternity). I have read this book four times and I don't recall reading any other book that many times. A life changer!
    • 5/5
      A moving plea to go after our hearts spiritually by letting God do what he does best...healing the broken hearted. Eldridge speaks to our hearts & calls us back to the glory God has created in all of us. A great listen & read.
    • 3/5
      Wise words, but nothing stood out strongly enough to make this a notable book for me. Much of what i liked in this book has been said better by others. I was also a little uncomfortable with his approach to "spiritual warfare," which verged on recognizing demon possession and casting demons out. Not that he explicitly endorses demon possession, which he does briefly say he does not believe, some readers may get the wrong idea when he speaks about battling evil angels, that may be harassing a person, through prayer and counseling. Still, worth a read.
    • 5/5
      Waking the Dead will change your perception of yourself, how God sees you and give you a clearer view of how God sees other people. John Eldredge is a gifted man who only wants to see people free from religious views of God and come to a heart relationship with HIm. When we are touched by the "Presence of God", we are truly changed and understand we have purpose, more than we imagine. Try this book if you are sick of religion. You can also get the video form where John reads his own book. He is so expressive (acting background) that every word comes alive as he reads.
    • 5/5
      Just listened to this for a second time. Incredible, life changing book. Definitely worth reading and listening to❤️
    • 1/5
      crap, crap and double crap. I through this book across the room at one point.
    • 4/5
      This book is part of my collection that really focuses in on Biblical Commentary more than anything else (including some well known authors in the theological world). All of these books haven't been read cover to cover, but I've spent a lot of time with them and they've been helpful in guiding me through difficult passages (or if I desire to dig deeper).
    • 4/5
      This book is so necessary to REAL Christian living. It has keys to living the exceedingly abundant life Jesus promises. It has answers to how to guard your heart, why, and exactly what that really means. Learn how to grow your heart into its truest form, be your truest self, and walk others to their best version. I only give it 4 stars because the audio version, although read by the author, isn’t my favorite reading voice. He emphasizes his words strangely which made it hard to get into.

      Wonderful book.
