Wild At Heart
Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul
A Battle to fight. An Adventure to live. A Beauty to
rescue. This is what a man longs for. This is what
makes him come alive. Look at the films men love.
For that matter, look at the dreams of little boys,
the games they play. There is something fierce,
passionate, and wild in the heart of every man. That
is how he bears the image of God. And the reason
that most men "live lives of quiet desperation"
(Thoreau) is because men have been told that the
reason God put them on earth is to be a good boy. To
be nice.
God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the
dreams and desires written in the heart
of every boy: 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 is no wonder that many
men avoid church, and those who go are often passive
and bored to death.
Now, in all your boyhood dreams growing up, did you
ever dream of becoming a nice guy? Ladies, was the
Prince of your dreams dashing... or merely nice?
"We've taken away the dreams
of a man's heart and told him to play the man." As
C.S. Lewis said, 'We castrate the gelding and
bid him be fruitful."
This is a message about the recovery and release of
a man's heart - his passions, which he has been
given by God. To take that adventure, visit our
store for the book and the Wild at Heart Field
Manual - a personal guide to the masculine journey.
For those adventuring with a band
of brothers, we have a Wild at Heart: A Band of
Brothers Video Series. And if you're looking for
