Quotes edit see section history

• “Life is not a problem to be solved; it is an adventure to be lived”

• “The most dangerous man on earth is the man who has reckoned with his own death. All men die; few men ever really live. Sure, you can create a safe life for yourself ... and end your days in a rest home babbling on about some forgotten misfortune. I'd rather go down swinging. Besides, the less we are trying to "save ourselves," the more effective a warrior we will be.”

• “A man is never more a man than when he embraces an adventure beyond his control, or when he walks into a battle he isn't sure of winning.”

• “Time with God each day is not about academic study or getting through a certain amount of Scripture or any of that. It's about connecting with God. We've got to keep those lines of communication open, so use whatever helps...The point is simply to do whatever brings me back to my heart and the heart of God. ~ p171”

• Popular Highlights from Kindle Customers

• A man must know he is powerful; he must know he has what it takes. A woman must know she is beautiful; she must know she is worth fighting for.

• They may be misplaced, forgotten, or misdirected, but in the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.

• A man does not go to a woman to get his strength; he goes to her to offer it.

• But to enter into a journey of initiation with God requires a new set of questions: What are you trying to teach me here? What issues in my heart are you trying to raise through this? What is it you want me to see? What are you asking me to let go of? In truth, God has been trying to initiate you for a long time. What is in the way is how you’ve mishandled your wound and the life you’ve constructed as a result.

• This is every man’s deepest fear: to be exposed, to be found out, to be discovered as an impostor, and not really a man.

• Every man feels that the world is asking him to be something he doubts very much he has it in him to be.

• We are hiding, every last one of us. Well aware that we, too, are not what we were meant to be, desperately afraid of exposure, terrified of being seen for what we are and are not, we have run off into the bushes. We hide in our office, at the gym, behind the newspaper and mostly behind our personality.

• Aggression is part of the masculine design; we are hardwired for it. If we believe that man is made in the image of God, then we would do well to remember that “the LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name” (Ex. 15:3).

  Highlighted by 44 Kindle customers

• So many men make the mistake of thinking that the woman is the adventure. But that is where the relationship immediately goes downhill. A woman doesn’t want to be the adventure; she wants to be caught up into something greater than herself.

  Highlighted by 43 Kindle customers

• Not every woman wants a battle to fight, but every woman yearns to be fought for. Listen to the longing of a woman’s heart: She wants to be more than noticed—she wants to be wanted. She wants to be pursued.
