Summary: Wild at Heart
Review: This book gave me alot of insight into the way men think and feel and a better understanding of how I can one day support my spouse. I gave it to my brother to read and he said 'Every man
in America should read this book.' I'm not sure if he's ever going to give it back to me. As a woman, I can say that a man who takes this book to heart is the kind of man we're looking for.

Summary: Excellent concept
Review: Read the first chapter and you have the whole story. Everything after that is redundant; the author says the same thing with different emphasis. The point that he seems to be making is that you can be a Christian and behave like a man, providing your behavior is tempered by Christian idealism. The author is affronted by the concept of "being a nice guy" as if that is somehow evil. In short, this is a book worth buying, reading and sharing. For a more indepth and soul-stirring read, I highly recommend you buy { THE PRAYER OF HANNAH } by Kenn Gividen.

Summary: Delightfully Insightful
Review: This book has been amazing to me. It's not just another "modern masculinity" book. Eldridge taps into aspects of the male personallity that are not looked upon with favor, these days. I found it relieving to have someone support the feelings that I have had for years. This book is a wonderful read. I recommend it for anyone (man or woman) who wants to know more about men.

Summary: A Little Over the Top
Review: The claims that Eldredge makes are a little hard to believe such as the comparison of God to William Wallace. God is loving, merciful, and beautiful while he says that he is a warrior that is filled with anger towards his people. To me this is too much. He also makes claims that women were not a factor in many past movements and claims that men are the one's that always stop hate and evil in the world. But the fact is that women started the anti-slavery movement and also men were the ones that started the institution of slavery. This is just one example of women stopping slavery and men creating hate. He says that there are too many nice guys in the Christian world and he sees that as a bad thing. Nice does not equal weakness. But there are some good points which address the issue of standing up for what you believe in. This is a testostrone packed work.

Summary: Insightful but ...
Review: Without question this book is easy for us men to relate to. So much of what Mr. Eldredge says challenges me to be a better husband, father, and leader in general. Dissapointing to me was all of the references to "Man Movies." I was a little uncomfortable with so much allusion to the world's models of manhood and so little communication of the Biblical model for men. I am sure that Jesus Christ should not be compared with William Wallace, Maxximus, or James Bond, etc. If we can't look at the Word of God and get a clear picture of God's expectation for men, then where can we really look? Read the book. Take all that is good from it. But look into God's Word to find out what makes a real man.

Summary: Life Changing!
Review: This book totally changed my perspective on what it is to be a Christian man. I am grateful for the bold vision of John Eldredge. Every Christian should read The Gravel Drive by Kirk Martin - another life changing book that will change your view of yourself and your children. I read the excerpt at thegraveldrive.com and was hooked. I recommend both books highly!

Summary: Wow! What an amazing book
Review: My husband and I read this book aloud together this last week. It has changed my husband and changed our marriage--both in mighty and positive ways. I enjoyed the no-nonsense style of John Eldredge's writing. It wasn't stuffy and it was fun to read. I enjoyed his quotes and the mood he was able to create with them. As a pastor I found that everything he said was Biblically sound and as a wife I saw how it spoke to my husband and called him into a deeper desire to know God, a deeper desire to follow God, and a deeper desire to fight for this beauty. God was already setting things in motion in our life that this book got us ready for and excited about. I'm looking forward to living the adventure with my William Wallace.Too many women are having to take the hits on the spiritual front because too many men don't understand what it really means to be a spiritual leader. It's not about being the boss, it's not about controlling things, it's about being on the front lines of the battle that isn't against flesh and blood. If any men want to know how to get into that battle and win, this is the book for them.
