Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul is a book published in 2005 by John Eldredge and his wife Stasi.

Captivating is a companion to Wild at Heart, also by John Eldredge, and argues that its model of femininity complements men's innate desires for "a battle to fight," "an adventure to live," and "a beauty to rescue.

"[1] They claim that women have three core desires: "to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty".

The authors use scriptural analysis, personal experience and interviews with others as the basis for their argument, along with pop culture references to romance fiction.

The book has received considerable criticism from people both within and outside the Christian sphere.
