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)

WOW

All I can say is WOW and I wish I had known some of these things before we had our 3 sons! This is a book for everyone! No nonsense and right in line with the scriptures. Read and be blessed!

Good enough to listen to again!

My husband and I both loved this book, we listened to it more than once. It helped us to understand the basis for the core differences between man and woman, and why we need each other. It helped me to understand the vulnerabilities my husband has, even though he tries hard to hide them.

Phenomenal

I recommend this to every man. Helped me to understand myself. Helped me to get free in my spirit and in my soul. Just a fatherly man relaying the truths of our ultimate father and who he means for us to be.

Great read for those searching for what’s missing (Yes, you)

I’ve read and re-read this book. I’ve given it away and bought extra copies as I believe it is something that open the eyes to what we have been longing to be, and longing to hear.

John does an excellent job of walking us through this journey to recover what most, if not all, of us have buried - our hearts. In each chapter we discover a truth that somehow has always been lying within us. The masculine journey is risky, but it’s well worth the endeavor.

I am going through this book with my adult son as he is starting off on his own adventure.

It’s not about being a tough guy, a know it all, or an outdoorsmen. It’s about understanding who you are meant to be, your purpose, your true nature.

Don’t wait, dive in!

other than the Bible itself no single book has ever brought me closer to God

This book will change your life

I once was lost but now am found. EVERY man needs to read this book. Women too. Just the insight I needed to find out why I feel the way I feel. God used Eldredge in a fantastic way in writing this book.

Great book

The book gets uncomfortable but not because of the content too often but rather often you can relate.
