Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

By: John Eldredge

3.94

Format: 236 pages, Kindle Edition

God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written…

"You can't fight a battle you don't think exists."

-John Eldredge, Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

"Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue."

-John Eldredge, Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

"I wasn't mean; I wasn't evil. I was nice. And let me tell you, a hesitant man is the last thing in the world a woman needs. She needs a lover and a warrior, not a Really Nice Guy."

-John Eldredge, Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

"In the case of our fair maiden, we have overlooked two very crucial aspects to that myth. On the one hand, none of us ever really believed the sorcerer was real. We thought we could have the maiden without a fight. Honestly, most of us guys thought our biggest battle was asking her out. And second, we have not understood the tower and its relationship to her wound; the damsel is in distress. If masculinity has come under assault, femininity has been brutalized. Eve is the crown of creation, remember? She embodies the exquisite beauty and the exotic mystery of God in a way that nothing else in all creation even comes close to. And so she is the special target of the Evil One; he turns his most vicious malice against her. If he can destroy her or keep her captive, he can ruin the story."

-John Eldredge, Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul
