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

 Wild at Heart: Right On!
This is the first Christian book for men I have ever found that addresses men as men, and does not encourage them to be wimpy casper milktoasts. It addresses real men in a real way, gives excellent guidance on being a real man, and finding a real and honest relationship with our father of fathers, God. I would recommend for every man, and for single moms raising sons, or moms raising sons where the dad had "checked out" for whatever reason, where the dad abdicates his role in raising his son. It will give you amazing insights and understanding, and this book can help men heal a wound that's been around for years.
Other Christian books tend to emasculate men, this book teaches them about their God-given masculinity, and how to use it in Christ-based ways.

Life Changing Book! ( mlavatai )
My father in-law gave me this book as an Easter present 5 years ago. After reading it and continuing to seek God...after 15 years as a Christian, I had told God that He could have my life, but I never SURRENDERED every aspect of my life to Him. This book, helped me to recognize, the call to give Him ALL that I am. We left California and now are ministering to people in Hawaii. God has opened many doors of ministry, from preaching in churches, to being on the radio.
I am not formally trained/educated. Just love to study the Bible and Exalt God, Equip the Saints, and Expand the Kingdom.
I am starting a 2nd mens group called Iron Men (As iron sharpens iron) in which we go through a chapter a week, building one another up in our walks with God. The 1st group and my new group will be starting this book next week! So look out world, because 40 men are about to be 'Wild' for God! My prayer is that we would also turn the world upside down for Jesus!
For men looking for Solid help in their walk/journey with the Living God, I highly recommend this! I also suggest Disciplines of a Godly Man by R. Kent Hughes. Had a HUGE impact on the Iron Men of Hawaii.
Blessings!
