Christian Living

Wild at Heart

Most books about Christian manhood tell men to sit down, be quiet, and behave. John Eldredge says the opposite: God made you with a wild heart for a reason. Drawing on Scripture, psychology, and his own journey, Eldredge argues that every man carries three core desires -- a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue -- and that these desires are not sinful but God-given. The church has often tried to tame men into passive niceness, but God calls them to courageous, passionate, purposeful living. For men in East Africa who bear enormous responsibility as providers, protectors, and spiritual leaders, this book is a wake-up call to stop performing and start living from the heart God gave you. Popular with men's groups and transformative for individual readers.
