About the book
John Eldredge's Wild at Heart addresses masculinity within modern evangelical Christian culture. Eldredge contends that many men are bored, wary of risk, and out of touch with their deepest longings, often chasing approval through work or romantic conquest. He calls Christian men to reclaim what he considers genuine manhood by pausing to face what their hearts want. Drawing on his time outdoors, family stories, films such as Braveheart and Gladiator, and song lyrics, he organizes the book into three parts covering a man's reflection of God, his inner wound and false self, and three core desires: a battle, an adventure, and a beauty.
