Wild At Heart Expanded Ed Discovering The Secret Of A Man S Soul

In all your boyhood dreams of growing up, did you dream of being a "nice guy"? Eldredge believes that every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is how he bears the image of God; that is what God made him to be.

The bestselling book that has revolutionized the lives of millions of men, revised and expanded. John Eldredge has revised and expanded his phenomenal bestseller, Wild at Heart, and invites men to become most complete selves by: recovering their masculine heart; seeing themselves in the image of a passionate God; and delighting in the strength and wildness that they were created to offer. In this life-changing book, John Eldredge provides a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

In this updated edition of the bestselling classic, author John Eldredge reminds men they need adventure in their lives . . . in their work, in their love, and their spiritual lives. He reveals how God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desires—aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative six-session video study (DVD/digital video downloads sold separately), John Eldredge explains how God wants to heal these deep wounds from earlier years that take away a man's confidence and—in some cases—his masculinity. He shows that deep within the heart of every man is a longing for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue—because that is how God created him. It is time for the church to reclaim these wounded warriors. It is time to give men permission to be what God designed them to be—dangerous, passionate, alive, and free! Sessions include: The Heart of a Man The Wound A Battle to Fight An Adventure to Live A Beauty to Rescue A Band of Brothers Designed for use with the Wild at Heart Updated Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.
