Information on The Journey of Desire from the publisher:

Desire can take on so many meanings in life. It can cause a marriage to fail, your job become meaningless and worst of all, distort your faith. "Circumstances thwart our best laid plans" says John Eldredge, our acclaimed author of the book of the same title. The modern church mistakenly teaches people to kill desire and replace it with duty or obligation (calling it sanctification). As a result at best Christians tend to live safe, boring lives of resignation. At worst, their desire eventually breaks out in destructive ways. In this four session EZ Lesson Plan, John, with the assistance of practical scenario applications, addresses the four following topics:

• Searching For the Life We Desire
• Mocking Our Desire. . .The Imposter
• Our Heart's Deepest Secrets
• Embracing the Desire

This video assisted study will help the user rediscover God given desire and to search again for the life they once dreamed of.

Description of John Eldredge, author of The Journey of Desire:

Sometimes it seems we just can't get what we want. Circumstances thwart our best-laid plans. We struggle to live a heartfelt life. Worst of all, says Eldredge, the modern church mistakenly teaches its people to kill desire (calling it sin) and replace it with duty or obligation (calling it sanctification). As a result, at best Christians tend to live safe, boring lives of resignation. At worst, their desire eventually breaks out in destructive ways such as substance abuse, affairs and pornography addictions. In this audiobook, Eldredge invites listeners to rediscover God-given desire and to search again for the life they once dreamed of. Read by Kelly Ryan Dolan. Unabridged. 8 hours. 6 cassettes.
