WILD at HEART
By John Eldredge
By John Eldredge
What can I say about “Wild at Heart”? I liked the basic premise that men need to embrace masculinity instead of apologizing for it. Eldredge argues that men should feel free to be "wild at heart." A deep relationship with God is key to a satisfying and meaningful life for a man. I am in full agreement with this. However, I did not like that it addresses all men as though they were the same. Many men have served in the military, saved lives, reared masculine sons and feminine daughters and been warriors for the kingdom of God and yet did not necessarily enjoy hunting or any other stereotypical "masculine activity" you can think of.
WILD at HEART is certainly not a bad book. And though based more on Eldredge’s own experiences than scripture, it is thought provoking. But remember, sometimes real courage is meeting the daily grind of life head on and still living with purpose.
