“Back Cover: This is a book about how a boy -- and a man -- becomes a man. It's a guide to the process of masculine initiation, tat ancient path every boy and man must take if they would become the man they long to be. The path whereby they come to know they are a man, and are able to live and love from a deep, centered strength. We live in a time where most men (and boys) are essentially fatherless. Whatever their circumstance, they have no man actually taking them through the many adventures, trials, battles and experiences they need to shape a masculine heart within them. They find themselves on their own to figure life out, and that is a lonely place to be. Their fears, anger, boredom, and their many addictions all come out of this fatherless place within them, a fundamental uncertainty in the core of their being. But there is a way. "We aren't meant to figure life out on our own," says John Eldredge. "God wants to father us." In "The Way of the Wild Heart," Eldredge reveals how God comes to a man and takes him on the masculine journey, how nearly all the events of a man's life can come together to provide the initiation he never received. And how parents can offer that initiation to their sons. Whatever your age may be, your Father is ready to take up your journey. For you are his son.

John Eldredge is a gifted storyteller. His style alone is captivating (punn intended). But his message is right on. So, it's a good message delivered in an engaging way.”1 of 1 members found this review helpful“This book launched me on a roller coaster of discovering who and what God wants me to be. It's not about me being something, it's about Him and what He wants me to be. God is right there guiding me, giving me His view of me and Eternity and where I fit into it. This impacts everything I do, everything I am; who I am as a husband, father, brother, son and friend. Absolutely a must-read for fathers of boys, or men with unhealed souls.”
