Wild at Heart

One of my favorite books that I've read this year is a book by John Eldredge entitled Wild at Heart. It was written for men in search of a masculine journey. sounds kind of corny, I'll admit, but it is much deeper than that. I feel that a good deal of it would pertain to this class and sacred communication. It is the story of a man's design and how it pertains to the wild and adventurous side of his maker. It is not merely one man;s story, but rather the story of all men. Today, we live in a culture where the role of a man is no longer, well lets face it...Adventurous. The daily grind of a nine-to-five cubicle is not exactly what every boy aspires to obtain when he reaches manhood. However, God calls his men to become more than that. In his book, Eldredge notes that every man has a "battle to fight", a "beauty to rescue", and an "adventure to live." I feel that these ideas are a loud communication from God that can be hard to hear through the buisiness of our current society.
