Waking the Dead

The Glory of a Heart Fully Alive

By: John Eldredge

Narrated by: John Eldredge

Awaken your heart and discover the life Christ promised so you can be fully alive.

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.

This revised and updated edition of Waking the Dead includes:

• A new introduction
• A “Selah” section for reflection in every chapter
• Suggestions for praying your way through the book

There is more to the life God promised than you ever dreamed. Do you want it?

A must read for everyone!

Amazing book that opened my eyes as to how blind we are as a church. We need to wake up!

Eye-opening

There is a spiritual battle. Gear up folks. Still wrestling with whether our hearts are truly good. Need to discern flesh vs new heart vs natural heart and I believe the distinction needs to be made at nearly EVERY speaking so that unbelievers DO NOT believe their unregenerated are good!!

Amen!

Heart-freeing and Holy Spirit guided words of wisdom <3 so grateful for Jesus and his sacrifice!

Arise and defend your heart!

John Eldridge writes an equipping and encouraging work on the importance of our hearts, which are good and not wicked. After we are redeemed by Jesus Christ, we are a new creations with a new heart. Eldridge expounds upon the necessity to go to Jesus for heart healing, and to protect our hearts. Well worth the listen. Your life is a mythic-level adventure fighting for the kingdom of God, starting with your own heart.

Thoughts

Great book overall and I enjoyed how John connected situations in the Bible to so many situations in famous books and movies. Great connections. I just didnt like that many parts were skipped over from the book so at times it was hard to pick back up when I was also using the book.
