Summary

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)

Challenging Inspiration

Particularly revived my sense of adventure, and that faith in Jesus is an adventure.

Important

Thoroughly enjoyed it. I am not religious, just spiritual, so wasn’t sure the christian tone was going to be palatable for me. I am pleased to say it was. The book has reframed certain aspects of God, which has reconciled something within me & my own perception of the Creator. I can honestly say that this book has and will influence my life from here on.
However, I found the “bonus” prayers at the end WAY WAY over-the-top and not at all in-keeping with rest of the book. Fortunately, the main content is completely separate from them, so I can ignore them on repeat listens.

Great Book

While listening to this audio book I had a feeling or a sense of Deja Vu.

Great read

I like the authors voice and he delivers his views well, I have also read the sister book for woman, and found them encouraging.

A rousing vision of being a man in Christ

particularly affected by assertions like "God is wild" and the question every boy wants answered "am I strong? am I formidable?"
well written. moving on to Robert Bly's Iron John next since it seems to be heavily referenced in here
