Waking the Dead, the powerful new message from bestselling author John Eldredge, inspires Christians to begin living from the heart so that they can live for the hearts of others.
There is a glory and a meaning to life that most people – including believers – never see. They live as the dead in heart, moving from difficulty to drudgery and continually misinterpreting their days. In this new book, John Eldredge reveals the path of seeing with the eyes of the heart. He offers deep and life-changing answers to three key questions: Why is the heart so important? Can we really trust our hearts? And how do “ordinary” people live from the heart? The powerful answers, which flow straight from the new covenant taught in Scripture, will bring dead hearts back to life.
The heart is central to life. Not only is the heart essential; the heart God has ransomed is also good. Building on these precious truths, John explains why real Christianity is a process of restoration whereby the broken parts of our hearts are mended and the captive parts are set free.
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.

Read a Chapter from
Waking the Dead
We were running low on fuel, and still the fog refused to lift. Icy Straight spread out below us, beautiful and threatening. I’ve always loved the ocean, the wilder the better. But clearly, this was no place to run out of gas. If by chance we survived ditching the small plane, we’d last about seven minutes in those waters. The nearest chance at rescue lived more than forty minutes away. Great. This is just how it happens, I thought. We’ll make Reader’s Digest. “Family on vacation lost in fatal crash.” Rain and mist smeared the windshield as we strained our eyes ahead, searching for a break in the clouds. There’s no radar in these planes; bush pilots fly VFR—visual flight restrictions. If you can’t see where you’re going, well, then, mister, you can’t go there. And you can’t keep trying forever, either; the clock that’s running is the fuel gauge. Three more minutes, and we’ll have to turn back.
“We’ll give it one more pass.”
“Fairweather Mountain” is a total misnomer. With a name like that, don’t you picture some lovely place in Hawaii or maybe Costa Rica—balmy breezes, gentle green slopes, the weather always, well, fair? These mountains explode 15,000 feet or more above sea level, right off the coast of southeastern Alaska, sheer cliffs and foreboding glaciers. Some of the world’s worst weather hangs out here.
The pilot was yelling above the drone of the engine, “They get their name ’cause you can only see ’em in fair weather.”
How cute. What idiot came up with that cleverness? Raw fear had swallowed my sense of humor whole. They ought to have named them the Peaks of Frozen Death or the Don’t Even Think About It Mountains. Fair weather? Around here, that means maybe twenty days a year—if you’re lucky.
We got lucky...
