Wild at Heart by John Eldredge (2001)

The person who wrote the "Gap" review of this book is jumping to false conclusions and by definition is an idiot. This book is great, it does no such thing as assume whatever lunatic view the reviewer was alledging Eldridge made.

However, if Eldridge heard someone call this book dangerous, he would rejoice, because the book IS dangerous. It will change your life, and that is not safe. That's why you should take heart and read it. This is a great book to help you put away your old, tired, trite fundamentalism and open your mind to true manhood.

This is a great book, wether or not you are a Christian you should read. It puts forth some very good reasons we all act the way we do, and themn offers some creative suggestions for improving things.

While reading it I found myself again and again agreeing with the writer. Every man needs to have something worth laying down his life for, and every woman wants to be important enough for someone to fight fo her.

read it

This is the first book I have ever read that I could not put down. It gives incredible insight into the brokenness of humanity. The writing is full of historical, cinematic, and real-life examples of the ideas he has set out to convey. It reels readers in, but also shows them how to heal. This book is a must-read for any man. It will change your life, if you are up to the task.

Excellent book. A must-read for any man or woman, with or without children. It is very insightful, very well written. Would make a FABUOUS men's bible study! I learned a lot about men and myself by reading it. - Marya

I enjoyed the fast quick service. The package was shown to have been taken good care of. Look forward to doing more buisness with them.

This book is absolutely wonderful!!!! Wild At Heart is one of those books you HATE to put down! If you enjoy Christian books that you can learn something from and get a different perspective on something, then by ALL MEANS READ THIS BOOK!!!!!! It confirms everything I ever believed about manhood. (I'm married to the 'manly, dangerous man' ha!)

Every Christian should read this book, however, it's a MUST READ if you have a son, thinking about marriage, or just wonder why men are the way they are.

John Eldredge lays it all on the line, tells it exactly how it is and no holds barred. He's amazing, and I CANNOT wait to read the rest of his books! God bless this man.

Very fast seller...Book came as discussed which was excellent also...package came quicker than I though...

One of the most life changing books I've ever read. This book along with 'Bait of Satan' by John Bevere have enlightened me in a great and powerful way. I borrowed the book from the church library and wore it out so I had to buy a replacement! The book helped me understand who I am as a man and what I'm created for. It also helped me understand how to teach my three sons about what it means to be a man. I recommend it to any man who has asked themselves, "is this all I was meant to be?" I would recommend it to any woman who has sons because running, jumping, yelling, and taking risks is what they were created to do! It's normal.

I am still reading this book. I love it thus far, it has been very inspirational. I truly recommend it all the men out there.

Received the book very quickly and in excellent condition. I bought the book as a gift for my husband and he was very pleased.

This book is MUST reading for every man out there....and especially Christian men. Eldredge pulls no punches and gets right to the meat of "who and what" a man is.... as created by God..... and the wound(s) that he is almost destined to carry as he matures. He defines the issues of masculinity in a highly readable style and then offers suggestions on dealing with them. The writer has "been there" and "done that" and speaks from a lifetime of experience. I first read his wife's book "Captivating" (a must for every woman out there) and couldnt wait to read this book. Not only do I recommend Wild at Heart for every man but also for every Mother of a son!!! Buy it. You'll treasure it!!!

Amazing. Just what I needed in my walk. Why are guys the way they are? Why do we feel rough and aggressive and try to hide it? God wants us to be the way we were created. Wild and unruly.

The book is an excellent self help book; J. Eldridge truly has a grasp on what a man thinks, feels, and what he needs to find himself. Well thought out, well researched, and hard spoken; it made me feel whole again and not alone.
Thanks for a great book

For men who have been domesticated since the '60's, this book will differentiate between how God created you and how the world has chosen to view you - as a kinder, gentler "yes, Dear" man. Read it and share it with your wife or fiancee. If they don't get it, you're likely to face significant challenges in your marriage.

Every man who has ever read this book has told me stories about how it has impacted their spiritual life in many positive ways! I greatly recomend this book to anyone.

My wife bought this book for me. I didn't think I would like it or that this book would be for me. Was I wrong. This book touched me in so many way & in so many areas of my life. It helped in my dealings with my wife. It helped me understand the way I feel & act toward others. It's also helping me deal with my 15 yr old son as he makes his trek towards manhood. This book was a blessing to me & my wife because it is helping us in our marriage & our family. Dave Malone

I loved this book because it hit right at the heart of what I wrestle with in life. It's good to know I'm not alone in my struggles. John Eldredge has walked in my shoes and is accomplishing things that only GOD can assist. I recommend this book to any man or boy who needs a Father figure in his life.

This book was recommended to me by a friend as a great 'faith strengthening' book for my husband. I bought it for my husband, who is in general not a very avid reader. But, I have never seen him so enthused about a book. When he was done, he started it over again and asked me to read it also. He said 'This will help you understand how I think, communicate and act. This explains how a man is wired, and how God has created him to be'. So, I read it. As a mom of three boys (and 9 girls for whom I would recommend the book 'Captivating'), it changed how I viewed my sons' behavior, reactions and maturing. I made a few changes in my parenting style that really helped our family. It really helps you understand God's intended way for a boy to become a man. Every husband, father and son should read this book, and any woman who loves her father, son or husband. Wow, what an eye opener.

This book has really changed my life and how I look at things. I am not finished yet but so far it is a great read and willl really change your outlook of things in life.

I have not received the item yet since ordered.I contacted the seller. All they did was that the seller sent it to my address. It's been months now but I gave up and would not use ebay any more. I don't think that is not fair for seller to confirm shipping and no way to get the item left.

Out of all the books John has written this truely is his BEST! There are so many questions in mens' lives that are such a struggle. John in this book opens so many doors into what God intends for men to be and the expectations of our Heavenly Father on the type fathers, husbands, and leaders of our families He wants us to be. It also touches on what our families desire from us as men. A protector, provider, the knight in shining armor.
I have had the pleasure of giving numerous copies to many of people in seach of some answers in their lives. I hope that if you are struggling with some questions as "What does God expect from me as a man?" or "What should I expect from the men in my life?", you will buy this book.
I personally had issues with these type things in my life because of growing up in a single parent enviroment. My mom and dad divorced when I was 3 and my dad moved many miles away and I became the "out of sight, out of mind" child. I never had a father figure to pattern my life after but, I finally came to the conclusion that the type father mine was, isn't what I wanted to be. Not until I read John's book did I realize that it's NOT out earthly fathers we need to impress but, our Heavenly Father who watches our every move.
Another point brought up in this book has changed my train of thought about "turning the other cheek". Mothers if your husband is away and you are confronted with a situation would you want your son to "hide behind your skirt or take up for you?". God is a warrior and is still battling satan and his evil ways daily. We are in the same battle and in this book John brings all this to your attention.
I could go on and on about this book but I won't. Please get a copy of this book aeven if you're not having issues. The things that are brought to light are incredible.
I hope you enjoy this incredible book!!!!!

The book was received exactly as it was described. It is a great book that helps you realize why men do what they do and women do what they do . . . for the most part, anyway! Each chapter is easy to read and very interesting. Some of the applications may be a little unnecessarily graphic but the point is made. What I have read so far has been a help. This book is an eye opener and can be a great help to any man.

I absolutely loved this book. This a book every guy, especially Christian, needs to read. Everything Mr. Eldredge talks about is perfect and appropriate. Guys, read this and learn/discover who you really are!

I heard about his book from a few friends and decided to go for it and purchase my own copy. Its totally worth it, Eldredge is a great writer and the book is very insightful.

This is a great book for men. I read the book several months ago and enjoyed it very much. I bought a copy to give my preacher.
