Good Christian men are supposed to be meek, timid creatures that come to church every Sunday and lead lives of quiet contemplation, right? John Eldredge doesn’t think so–and I agree. His book, Wild at Heart, is a powerful personal account that shows that the Creator made us with a completely different image in mind.

Every father needs to read this book. It vividly relates that life as a Christian is a heroic, epic journey. We’re meant for greatness and equipped and up to the task. An adage sums up this book to me, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)

All my life I searched for my quest, my holy grail. I thought that to justify my existence, to fulfill my destiny, that the heavens would part and I’d be given a heroic task to undertake. Then we had our first son. Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man’s Soul shows us how our lives are filled with meaning, we need a beauty to rescue and most importantly, our relationship with our Maker, is meant to be the hero’s journey.
