John Eldredge, the founder and director of Ransomed Heart Ministries in Colorado, is also a renowned author of Christian books.
Probably his most popular book is Wild at Heart which is a book that helps people to understand manhood and that becoming a Christian man doesn't necessarily mean that the man has to give up his natural wild side.
John loves canoeing, fly-fishing and mountain climbing and encourages other Christian men to be what God intended them to be.
Helping men rediscover their masculine heart, Wild at Heart, a guide to understanding Christian manhood and Christian men, offers a refreshing break from the chorus of voices urging men to be more responsible, reliable, dutiful ... and dead. God designed men to be dangerous, says Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in every boy's heart: to be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires---aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It's no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be---dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.
Eldredge's style of writing has been criticized by some. My husband recently attended a Bible study based on the book, Wild at Heart. I read his books and found them to be inspiring, down to earth and real.
Dare to be the man God created you to be! In eight provocative lessons on authentic masculinity, John Eldredge challenges you to abandon passivity and actively pursue your God-given dreams. Encouragement for men to walk the road least taken---and important insights for the women who love them! Includes one hardcover copy of the book, facilitator's guide, field manual workbook, media kit (promotional posters, media slick and reproducible bulletin inserts), and three DVDs (eight sessions).
