Wild at Heart by John Eldredge is a book about discovering the real heart of man, and in so doing reflecting the courageous, dangerous and wild heart of Creator God. At the core of this book is not principles, a list of dos and don'ts, but an ensuing dialogue that explains why men fight, why men are moved to rebel against injustice. In a flowing read, John covers the various aspects of men from both skill and experience as a counselor and married man - such as the wound of absent fathers, the ultimate question of 'am I strong - am I a man?', and the way towards restoring each dimension of manhood through community, vulnerability and perspective. As mentioned in the epilogue, this is not a book that should be read and put down as a mere interesting book. All great books in history inspire action, and read with the open mind and ready heart, this is another such book.
