About this listen

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)
All stars
Most relevant
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

A rousing vision of being a man in Christ

Just completed the first read in. Got to read again. Too good for one serving!

Personal evocative & clear

Leaving most of the Biblical references aside, and considering I don't agree with every assertion in the book, Wild At Heart should be required reading for all parents, especially fathers.

There's nothing wrong with masculinity and anyone trying to sell you that idea has an agenda.

John Eldredge highlights this in very exacting detail.

Required reading for fathers of all ages

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

Great read
