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.

Book Review - Winston Churchill by John Perry
Winston Churchill by John Perry. This book brings together a concise outlook on the highly influential British man who, with no exaggeration added, shaped the modern world. His unwavering belief in the victory against evil, a sense of Divine intervention, and the advent of hope regardless of circumstance builds this narrative to a powerful start to finish.
This book is recommended for those looking for a good story, laced with the suspense of ‘what if…’s that comes with reviewing history in hindsight, and perhaps the feeling that purpose does come from on High. Or else there would be no Winston Churchill as we know him.
