John EldredgeJohn Eldredge What strikes me about Jesus is that he is a remarkably true person; he never changes his personality to fit in with whatever crowd he finds himself. He is simply himself, and he never plays to his audience.
John EldredgeJohn Eldredge I wasn’t mean; I wasn’t evil. I was nice. And let me tell you, a hesitant man is the last thing in the world a woman needs. She needs a lover and a warrior, not a Really Nice Guy.

John EldredgeJohn Eldredge A true knowledge of Jesus is our greatest need and our greatest happiness.
John EldredgeJohn Eldredge Caring for our own hearts isn’t selfishness; it’s how we begin to love.
John EldredgeJohn Eldredge So long as man remains no real threat to the Enemy, Satan’s line to him is ‘You’re fine’. But after you do take sides, it becomes ‘Your heart is bad and you know it’.
John EldredgeJohn Eldredge Reading the Gospels, without the personality of Jesus, is like watching television with the sound turned off.
John EldredgeJohn Eldredge Truth be told, most of us are faking our way through life. We pick only those battles we are sure to win, only those adventures we are sure to handle, only those beauties we are sure to rescue.
John EldredgeJohn Eldredge It takes great courage to be vulnerable. It takes enormous strength to be a real woman.
