Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following works did John Eldredge NOT write?

Answer: Traveling Light

"Traveling Light" is actually the title of a book written by Max Lucado. It is subtitled, "Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended to Bear". It is based on the Scripture passage of Psalm 23, and is intended to reenergize weary spiritual travelers.
2. The following describes which John Eldredge book?: "In the heart of every person lies an inconsolable longing. Men often know it as the hunger for adventure. Women tend to feel it as a thirst for intimacy. This longing is the secret of our lives. It tells us who we are, what our life was meant to be.

Answer: The Sacred Romance

This book was coauthored with John's best friend, Brent Curtis, and is literally on its way to becoming a classic of post-modern Christian literature.
3. Which of the following descriptions would best describe John's second book, "The Journey of Desire"?

Answer: We must journey to find the life we prize. And the guide we have been given is the desire set deep within, the desire we often overlook or mistake for something else or even choose to ignore.

To quote from this amazing book, "We all share the same dilemma-we long for life and we're not sure where to find it. We wonder if we ever do find it, can we make it last? We must journey to find the life we prize. There is nothing of greater importance than the life of our deep heart. And if we are to bring our hearts along in our life's journey, we simply must not, we cannot abandon this desire."
4. After John's best friend Brent's tragic death as the result of a climbing accident, which book did John pen as part of his own healing process?

Answer: The Journey of Desire

The modern church often teaches people to kill desire and call that sanctification. "But," Eldredge says, "Christianity is not an invitation to become a moral person. It is not a program for getting us in line or for reforming society . . . At its core, Christianity begins with an invitation to desire. The secret of your life was written by God on your heart's desire."
5. Which John Eldredge book is subtitled, "Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul"?

Answer: Wild at Heart

Of "Wild at Heart" Eldredge says, "God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires- aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a nice guy. It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death."
6. In "Wild at Heart", John Eldredge quotes which popular theologian of the 20th century when he states, "We castrate the gelding and bid him be fruitful"?

Answer: C. S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis is the author of the quintessential document of Christian apologetics, "Mere Christianity", and has also written many other works. Those include, "The Abolition of Man", "The Problem of Pain", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Surprised by Joy", "The Great Divorce", "The Screwtape Letters", and numerous others. This particular quote is from "The Problem of Pain".
7. The almost humorous tagline for this John Eldredge book reads "If you want life, you'll need your heart. Isn't it time you got it back?"

Answer: Waking the Dead

From RansomedHeart.com, "Waking the Dead will help you understand how to live from the heart, care for your heart like the treasure of the kingdom that it is, and give from fullness instead of emptiness. This message also shows how living from the heart can energize your love for God and others in a way you've never experienced, revealing life's purpose: fighting for the hearts of others."
8. Which John Eldredge book is subtitled, "The Story God is Telling and the Role That is Yours to Play"?

Answer: Epic

In "Epic", John Eldredge proclaims, "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 crucial role to play."
9. This is the title of the book that John coauthored with his wife Stasi.

Answer: Captivating

In "Captivating" John and Stasi unveil the mystery of a woman's soul. To quote from the book itself, "Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the Beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play.

They are the secret to the feminine heart."
10. "Captivating" deals with the recovery of a woman's heart and soul in part by identifying and healing emotional, physical, and spiritual wounds.

Answer: True

The bottom line of "Captivating" is this: "Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman - they are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating."
