But God’s design-which he placed in boys as the picture of himself-is a resounding yes. Don’t climb on that, don’t break anything, don’t be so aggressive, don’t be so noisy, don’t be so messy, don’t take such crazy risks. “I’ve noticed that so often our word to boys is don’t.

The masculine heart needs a place where nothing is prefabricated, modular, nonfat, zip lock, franchised, on-line, microwavable. “Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man.

With that in mind, here are some of my favorite quotes from Wild at Heart: I’m one of those guys who can’t read a book without a highlighter in my hand, and as far as I’m concerned, it would be a shame to mark up my favorite content and never share it with you. Why? Because Wild at Heart will help them discover how everything God promises as part of the Christian life is available, but it only comes after a man gets his heart back. Needless to say, I believe Wild at Heart should be required reading for every guy who-if he’s being honest-recognizes his current experience as a “Christian Man” isn’t living up to what the Bible promises him.

Lastly, God used Wild at Heart to open my eyes to the larger story of redemption that He’s invited me into-a story where I am called to fight for others who are still in bondage.

As I worked through each chapter, I began to recognize how God had made me as a man, and how the enemy had strategically wounded me in many of those core areas.

I was reading and journaling through the book as an assignment from my counselor and could not believe how different it seemed from the first time I had picked it up:

Needless to say, I had completely missed the point.įast forward 10 years to the second time I picked up Wild at Heart and things were quite different. I used it as an excuse to spend my weekends in the mountains rather than with my family at home. When I first read Wild at Heart, I took it as permission to pursue my own adventures while giving no regard to the responsibilities God had put in my life. After all, if I could only to choose one book to recommend to you, it would be a toss-up between The Bondage Breaker and Wild at Heart, mainly due to the huge impact they’ve both had on my life. Looking back over all the books I’ve reviewed so far, I’m shocked to realize that Wild at Heart has somehow slipped through the cracks.
