| Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul by Thomas Nelson Sure worked for me! |
| This book wouldn't please the modern day pharasees but I have no problem with that. Maybe it's not doctrinally perfect; probably neither is your doctrine and to surmise otherwise is pure arrogance. What this book brought out in me was the deep longing inside of me to be the man I always wanted to be. Getting "information" is one thing; getting "illumination" is a rarity but this book did it for me. Maybe it's not for everyone but it was perfect for me and it spoke to the deepest depths of my soul and spirit like very few other books have. It made me realize just how far my own life had been pushed onto the back burner and how far I was from where I wanted to be. This book helped me see myself for who I am and who I've been pretending to be for the last 30 years. No doubt there are some who have been an unwitting cuckhold to the woman that wears the pants; they would not like this book. Only those that are truly "real man" to the core of their being, those deprived from years of neglect, those who have fought the rigors of everyday life, business, finances, raising children, and tending to the demands of their marriage will feel something stir within. It brings to light the sacrifices made by most American men and reminds us that we are first and foremost "men" - not "Christians" or "Christian men". |
| Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul by Thomas Nelson Awesome Book! |
I have been using this book to teach a men's life class at church and as word has spread about how great it is and the disucssion that it stimulates, I have had more men join the class every week.

| This book amazed me and hit me at my core. Eldredge was able to put into words feelings and ideas that I have struggled with for years. He nails many of the problems the "good guys" of today face and examines the origin of the mixed signals we are bombarded with. More importantly he gives us answers and points us in the right direction to make important changes in the way we feel about ourselves. |

| Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul by Thomas Nelson A Loving Look into the Hearts of Men and Women |
This publication offers a loving and spiritual explanation of the earlier philosophy behind MEN ARE FROM MARS WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS, which left me with the feeling of, "Well, so what are we supposed to do with this information?"
John Eldredge offers a brilliant understanding of God's ultimate plan in the creation of men and women, their unique differences, and how we can lovingly adjust and adapt to build stronger bonds and more nurturing relationships between the two genders.

| Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul by Thomas Nelson Product Description |
| Helping men rediscover their masculine heart, this guide to understanding Christian manhood and Christian men offers a refreshing break from the chorus of voices urging men to be more responsible, reliable, dutiful… and dead. God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. 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. In this provocative book, now available in trade paper, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free. |

| If Christian men are going to change from a pitiful, wimpy bunch of "really nice guys" to men who are made in the image of God, they must reexamine their preconceptions about who God is and recover their true "wild" hearts, writes bestselling author John Eldredge in Wild at Heart: Discovering a Life of Passion, Freedom, and Adventure. Eldredge throws down the gauntlet--men are bored; they fear risk, they refuse to pay attention to their deepest desires. He challenges Christian men to return to authentic masculinity without resorting to a "macho man" mentality. Men often seek validation in venues such as work, or in the conquest of women, Eldredge observes. He urges men to take time out and come to grips with the "secret longings" of their hearts. Although the book succeeds best in its slant toward a male audience, it also strives to help women understand the implications of authentic masculinity in their relationships with men. Eldredge frames the book around his outdoor experiences and appealing anecdotes about his family, sprinkling the text with touches of humor and overlying everything with heartfelt passion. Even as he mixes eclectic ideas about masculinity from popular movies such as Braveheart with classic words from Oswald Chambers, and lyrics from the Dixie Chicks with stories from the Bible, he points to only one answer for men searching for their true wildness of heart. Writes Eldredge, "The only way to live in this adventure ... with all its danger and unpredictability and immensely high stakes ... is in an ongoing, intimate relationship with God." --Cindy Crosby |
