About half way through this book... for the 3rd time. I like it a lot. While sometimes I may feel that the author, Eldredge, over generalizes here and there, the heart and passion of the book are great. Definitely is a great read when I want to refocus why in the world I'm not pursuing a career path where I would make a lot more money : ) Also something to note, John Eldredge wrote one of the first books I read that lead me to care anything about following this Jesus guy.
The back reads this:
"Life, for most of us, feels like a movie we've arrived to forty minutes late.
Sure, good things happen, sometimes beautiful things. But tragic things happen too. What does it mean? We find ourselves in the middle of a story that is sometimes wonderful, sometimes awful, usually a confusing mixture of both, and we haven't a clue how to make sense of it all. No wonder we keep losing heart.
We need to know the rest of the story.
For when we were born, we were born into the midst of a great story begun before the dawn of time. A story of adventure, of risk and loss, heroism... and betrayal. A story where good is warring against evil, danger lurks around every corner, and glorious deeds wait to be done. Think of all those stories you've ever loved - there's a reason they stirred your heart. They've been trying to tell you about the true Epic ever since you were young.
There is a larger story, and you have a part to play."
