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.

Answering The Tough Questions

We're using this in our Men's Ministry group at church, and it has been the catalyst for many thought provoking discussions. Men often don't try to tackle the tough issues in life and that can become a stumbling block for the relationships in their lives. We're wired differently than women, and that's okay. This book helps to break that open as kind of a manual to the man's heart. A very stimulating read.

Very Good Book!

I think this book along with John & Stasi's Captivating are must reads for anyone wanting to understand how men and women think. I would also suggest Men Are From Mars/Women Are From Venus. All 3 are WONDERFUL books and have a lot to teach!!!

Wild at Heart

Great book. Really helps a man know why he behaves the way he does. Helps us men understand God.

Wild at Heart

I wish I had read this book as a young man. It is truly life changing and I've purchased multiple copies to give to open minded friends.

Loved it. Hated it.

Well thought out and supported, the author makes a strong case for honoring one's masculine side. This idea has an important place in contemporary society. That is the contribution this book makes.

On the other hand, I'm troubled. What's wrong with being a paradox-incredibly masculine AND sensitive? No one around a man who "has it all" ever complains about his empathy, listening skills, etc.

Giving this book to a young man who is unsure of himself could be harmful. In one real way, Eldredge has carefully outlined his vision for himself. Join him, if you will, but also consider that each man has the right and duty to define himself. How many of us have worried over whether Edison, Puccini or JFK was a "real" man? We've accepted those men for who they were. Did they fit the mold? Is there a mold?

If there is a challenge to be met, and there is, it is to fully become the man that you have the potential to be.
