Wild at Heart

Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

By: John Eldredge

Narrated by: John Eldredge

Length: 8 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's summary

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)

had deep inside of being a man

it was a good book on how a man is supposed to be in christ

Find True Manhood Here

This is an excellent book for men desperate to find true masculinity. Real men are not just nice guys. John gives you permission to be dangerous, adventurous, a warrior, the man you really want to be deep down inside, the man God created you to be. Get it now!

Christ wasn't a whimp!

For men who want to be Godly real men. Great book to read more than once!

exceptional message

what an inspiring book and such a great message. I recommend every man and women listen to this. I wish I had heard it when I was an young adult but who knows if I would have understood the message as I do today.

Find Yourself

Rediscover God's plan for you. Your Heart is Wild set it free. This is a must read for anyone looking for purpose.

A rescue

I'll keep this short and sweet. For any man on his masculine journey as a follower of Christ, this book is a rescue every time. I listen to it periodically throughout the year. That being said, anything Eldredge writes will help you stay in this message and live a life worth inviting others into.

Wow just wow

If your a man Get this book today! If you have a son get this book today! If you want to know why nice guys finish last get this book. God did not call us to be nice. We are at war and we are here to fight for what we love!

Questions to Answers I didn't know I had

I have read and listened to many books, many of them around this subject, but none of them as succinctly put as this author puts it. This guy gets it. This is the first, yet it WON'T be the last book of his I listen/read. John Eldridge spells out so very plainly the desires of every boy and man... it's how we are wired.
This book was recommended to me by a woman, who had read it, because she wanted to understand what made men "tick" a little better, and oh boy, did she understand afterwards.
I wish I could gift this book to every man, woman, child, I know.... it's a very good explanation to why men do what we do, and a great way to understand your adolescent boys as well.

Someone understands....

This is the first book I've read or heard in 44 years that understands the heart of a man. I can see now why cubicle life has left an undefined ache in the life of so many men. For Christians, this book will probably portray God in a way you've never thought of previously. A must read!

life changing!!!

never realized how important masculinity being paired with spirituality really was.this book has transformed my life
