Book excerpt: In his book Waking the Dead, best-selling author John Eldredge reveals that things are not what they seem; this is a world at war; and you have a crucial role to play. In this guidebook, Eldredge takes you even deeper into the hidden meanings of this world-giving you the courage to rise up and reclaim your heart as you fight for the hearts and souls of others. Packed with questions, stories, and discussion topics, you'll discover the glory of a heart fully alive through features such as: Big Ideas-thought-provoking concepts that will challenge you to grow daily and excel as a cherished child of God; Mythic Parables-classic stories from Scripture as well as fairy tales, old and new; and Heart Monitors-barometers for evaluating your own feelings, struggles, and passions. No matter what you've known so far, Eldredge insists, "There is more available with God. There is so much more."
