The Way of the
Wild Heart
A Map for the Masculine Journey
This is a book about how a boy - and a man - becomes
a man.
It's a guide to the process of masculine initiation
- that ancient path every boy and man must take if
they would become the man they long to be. The path
whereby they come to know they are a man and are
able to live and love from a deep, centered
strength.
We live in a time where most men (and boys) are
essentially fatherless. Whatever their circumstance,
they have no man actually taking them through the
many adventures, trials, battles, and experiences
they need to shape a masculine heart within them.
They find themselves on their own to figure life
out, and that is a lonely place to be. Their fears,
anger, boredom, and their many addictions all come
out of this fatherless place within them--a
fundamental uncertainty in the core of their being.
But there is a way.
"We aren't meant to figure life out on our own,"
says Eldredge. "God wants to father us."
In The Way of the Wild Heart, John Eldredge reveals
how God comes to a man and takes him on the
masculine journey - how nearly all the events of a
man's life can come together to provide the
initiation he never received. And how parents can
offer that initiation to their sons. ...
Whatever your age may be, your Father is ready to
take up your journey. For you are his son. |
