Overview

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.

Wild At Heart

A must for any man. John Eldredge has quickly become one of my favorite authors. He speaks from a man's perspective and made me really think about who I am as a man and how that affects my relationships with my wife and two sons. I got The Way of the Wild Heart before this one and it awakened my soul. Therefore, I was anxious for this one and it did not disappoint.

My Fiance and I had to read this book and Captivating by Eldredge's wife for pre-maritial counseling. Wild at Heart has some good points, but they are overshadowed by Eldredge's poor reading/speaking abilities. Would much rather stick to books supported by Famiy Life, as Eldredge seems a bit over the top on some of his theology.

Awful! I found John Eldredge to be over the top and too dramatic for my taste. I couldn't even get through the series.

John Eldredge has found a key to how and why men behave as they do. This is truly an inspirational help for any man who asks himself why he believes and acts the way he does. This particular edition is narrated by Eldredge himself, and his passion of what he has to share is evident, and refreshing. This is not another dull "listen and forget it later" book. This book will really inspire you to be the man God wants you to be.
