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, 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

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!

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.

Wild at Heart

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

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.
