Wild at Heart

Book •

In 'Wild at Heart,' John Eldredge argues that men have been conditioned away from their natural instincts and desires for adventure, battle, and exploration.

He posits that men need to reclaim their hearts and live from a place of deep passion and purpose.

The book critiques modern societal expectations and offers a vision of masculinity that is rooted in biblical principles but also acknowledges the need for men to engage in meaningful struggles and adventures.

However, the book has faced criticism for its handling of Scripture and its portrayal of biblical themes.
