Excellent book! A christian view of what being a man is all about. I am not a man, but as a wife, this book really opened my eyes and helped me to see my husband in a new light.

I read this before my husband did! It's a wonderful inspirational book that explains to men AND women just why God created men the way He did. A beautiful read!

As a Man, I can't buy into everything that John Eldredge sells, but overall the points are strong. If nothing else every Man could benefit from some introspection.

All mothers should read this book. And especially all mothers of boys. I have all girls but they are having boy babies and this book was an eye opener for me.

My husband thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Very deep and thought provoking. Every man, young and old should take the time to meditate on the message in this book.

By far the best book I have ever read. An absolute must for anyone seeking to achieve a better grasp on life, God, and relationships. Warning: This will shake up everything you thought you knew about Christianity, but only in the very best of ways. After reading it, you will look around and wonder at why the world has changed so much, only to realize it is you who has experienced the changing. Is there a 25,000 star rating? If so, this book deserves it - more than any other.

Great book! I love the way the author really speaks to your heart...on the other hand, constantly drawing parallels between the movies and real life doesn't really ring true with me, since the movies aren't real...anywho, still a great read!

Loved it, loved it. It set me free and by giving me a glimpse into the make-up of the male soul, it actually gave me some answers about my own. And it helped me to make peace with a lost relationship. I strongly reccomend.

Gets the experience of a being a modern man down right...

Lacking on the solution side (but then again, so is everyone else).

Everybody should read this book. A wonderful depiction of God's true design of men.

The one thing I can say about this writer is that he believes that God is not in control of the future nor is He in control of it. Do your own research. So be careful what you learn from.
reviewed Wild at Heart : Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul on
This is book is quite disappointing, as it rests on stereotypical gender roles/depictions to define men and women within the Christian context. Eldredge attempts to define the "True man" but in doing so neglects a large proportion (if not the majority)of men who do not fall into this hyper-masculine portrayal. In addition for someone who gives such prominence to women within the needed accomplishments of each man's life, they rarely appear in good depiction within the book. The book also sits firmly within the realm of elitism. The imagery of this book is no doubt attractive but, only a small proportion of the population can actually live such expensive lives. Lastly, and of greatest importance, there are serious theological issues in within its pages as its central claim is human-centric and has little to do with kingdom.
