It is time for the church to reclaim these wounded warriors. Men will discover that deep within their heart is a longing for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue-because that is how God created them. The Wild at Heart Field Manual, which corresponds chapter-by-chapter with the book, helps men understand how God wants to heal these deep wounds from earlier years that take away their confidence and, in some case, their masculinity. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these 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. He reminded men they needed adventure in their lives-in their work, in their love, and their spiritual lives-and showed how God designed them to be dangerous. In Wild at Heart, bestselling author John Eldredge thrust a generation of men, young and old, toward a journey to recover true masculinity?the soul of a man as God designed him. In this updated and expanded edition of the timeless, bestselling classic, John Eldredge calls men-and the women who love them-to discover the true secret of a man’s soul and embrace the danger, passion, and freedom God intended for every man. In this provocative book, Eldredge invites men to wholeheartedness by recovering their true masculine hearts healing the wounds and trauma in their stories and delighting in the strength and wildness they were created to offer the world.
No wonder most men leads lives of quiet resignation, meanwhile looking for a little “life” on the side.
Christianity feels irrelevant to the recovery of their heart. All those passions, dreams, and desires get buried under deadlines, pressures, and disappointments.
But sometime between boyhood and the struggles of yesterday, most men lose heart. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, a warrior, to love a beauty, to live a life of adventure. To be dangerous men living in a really big story. He created us to live a life of passion, freedom and adventure.
