About this listen

 Every man was once a boy. And every little boy has dreams, big dreams: dreams of being the hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress. Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty.

But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are...bored.

In Wild at Heart, John Eldredge invites men to recover their masculine heart, defined in the image of a passionate God. And he invites women to discover the secret of a man's soul and to delight in the strength and wildness men were created to offer.

Critic Reviews

"The exceptional writing and ideational balance (and a sensitive interpretation by Kelly Dolan) make this a compelling effort to integrate the hero's gritty nature with the public good." (AudioFile)

I'm only up to chapter 6 but already I have been given the gift of personal insight from this book and am in tears while I type this. Mr Eldridge sir, I thank you from the bottom of my hea... no from the bottom of my SOUL!!! This book shows just how inadequate parenting can be even under the best situations and more importantly explains what one can do to REMEDY the damage caused by the many slings and arrows of life.

OUTSTANDINGLY DEEP

many moments the supporting evidence from the bible was thin to wrongly used which made the book unreliable to me, despite some charm.

Much that is off

I didn't sign up for a Bible study. The book has some interesting insights however they are largely front loaded, with the second half of the book being largely a study of biblical scripture. It's interesting at times but it's not for everyone. Disappointing as it's quite misleading. There's also some homophobia unfortunately, alluding to the idea of being gay is a form of spiritual disease or mental illness. Wildly irresponsible to consider the types of vulnerable people this book is targeted at. Luckily I know better. I extracted the value I could take from it, the differing perspective ECT, but it's very clear it's designed for a specific type of person. The author reads with a self assured condescension despite having some delusional perspectives.
