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.
Great Insight
| Customer Rating: | | This book is written for men but should be read by every wife or wife to be - even young Christian women who are dating. It truly gives an insight into what may be on a man's heart or what may have wounded his heart. This insight can be invaluable to the strength of the relationship and the understanding of the wife's role in the man's life. This could result in a more meaningful and deeper marriage relationship! |
Not worth the read
| Customer Rating: | John Eldredge is writing from a fundamentalist perspective, and is part of the backlash against the feminist movement among other things.
The following are my major concerns with Eldredge's book:
1) Eldredge speaks right past anthropological scholarship that regards gender as a social construction.
2) Eldredge takes stereotypes of masculinity and femininity and makes them normative and ordained by God.
3) Furthermore, Eldredge's stereotypes are rooted in sexist notions of manhood and womanhood.
4) Eldredge uses decontextualised texts from the Bible to uncritically support his argument.
May I suggest an alternative, a book more rooted in Scripture and scholarship than 'Wild at Heart'; namely, 'New Adam' by Philip Culbertson.New Adam: The Future of Male Spirituality |
No man should miss this book
| Customer Rating: | | This book is extremely insightful. It is invaluable to men in todays society who have not been taught how to be men. It is a must read. However, it is just about as good for women, especially mothers of young boys. It can help them to understand why little boys must jump in mud puddles and climb trees. |
Hook, Line, and Sinker
| Customer Rating: | | I read the book, saw the videos, and sat through the seminars at church, trying to keep an open mind. In the end, I was sickened and disgusted by the author's attempt to fuse the kingdom of Heaven with the earth below, and make the church try to act more like the world. His loose interpretation of scriptures along with his numerous examples drawn from Hollywood, et al, is really treading on dangerous ground. When we use our emotions and our "feelings" to gauge our relationship with God, instead of relying on what the Bible has to say, we are in trouble. Does Eldridge not realize that a lot of man's attributes are not what God originally intended, but are a result of man's fall from grace (original sin)? This book may make you feel good about yourself and be ready to go slay the proverbial dragon, but it is fantasy, NOT reality!!! The fact that millions of Christian men have bought into this nonsense "hook, line, and sinker" is a sad testament to how much the Church of Jesus Christ has succumbed to the enemy's seduction in modern times. |
