A Book Review, Wild at Heart

Wild at Heart, Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul, by John Eldredge, reveals the true, but hidden secret locked deep within a man's soul. The author does an outstanding job of conveying the message that God indeed created the human male to possess a wild nature. This book deals clearly with the issue of masculinity and the wound inflicted when it's repressed or stripped away.

Wild at heart is well-written and easy to read. The message is interesting and easy to understand. I found this book difficult to put down. The revelation of God creating men to be wild and masculine is challenging, inspiring, and provocative. I was compelled to look deep into my own heart while reading this book.

John Eldredge presents the material in a progressive manner. You are led to not only search your heart, but to take decisive action to begin healing your heart if it is wounded.

Revealing the secret of a man's soul appeals to those men, and women, who seek for the truth of what the Bible says about men and masculinity. I found the message of Wild at Heart timely for the men of today. I rate this book five out of five stars. I highly recommend this book to every man to read, then to act upon what is read.

  1. The next chapter "An Adventure to Live," is even better. It's all about embracing risk, living freely and dangerously-which, as you start to see from the buckets of scriptures he incorporates, is totally Biblical. Right now, I'm flipping through the chapter looking for a quote to give you but I'm finding so many I can't pick one. You need to read this chapter, even if it's just this chapter.
