Wild at Heart

In the continuing parade of books from Christian authors for men comes a book that has taken the evangelical community by storm. Counselor and writer John Eldredge claims that men are wild at heart and desperately need to recapture this essential part of maleness. In his book, Wild at Heart, Eldredge claims that every man needs a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.

This book has caused no end to controversy in Men's Ministries throughout the country, so when reading Wild at Heart, one needs to be aware that Eldredge's language is sometimes imprecise and can be misinterpreted as an excuse for men to overindulge in risky behavior and some men to take dangerous risks they are not prepared for.

Overall I loved this book and it inspired me greatly. Check it out for yourself!
