Helping men rediscover their masculine heart, this 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 John Eldredge. 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. In this provocative book, now available in trade paper, 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.

Summary: Reaching those that cannot be reached
Comment: I think we need to realise that everyone is different. I have read this book and known many who have read it, mostly men. What has happened to them in the aftermath of reading the book is amazing.
They are happy! They are joyful, they are relaxed, calm, sincere, open, content and full of energy. They weren't before this book came along.
I judge not the book from its text, but from the result I see in those around me who have read it. The fruit of this book is undeniably good.
All the things I've seen this book give to men are things that I believe God wants us to have.

Summary: Very Good Book!
Comment: I think this book along with John & Stasi's Captivating are must reads for anyone wanting to understand how men and women think. I would also suggest Men Are From Mars/Women Are From Venus. All 3 are WONDERFUL books and have a lot to teach!!!

Summary: Loved it. Hated it.
Comment: Well thought out and supported, the author makes a strong case for honoring one's masculine side. This idea has an important place in contemporary society. That is the contribution this book makes.
On the other hand, I'm troubled. What's wrong with being a paradox-incredibly masculine AND sensitive? No one around a man who "has it all" ever complains about his empathy, listening skills, etc.
Giving this book to a young man who is unsure of himself could be harmful. In one real way, Eldredge has carefully outlined his vision for himself. Join him, if you will, but also consider that each man has the right and duty to define himself. How many of us have worried over whether Edison, Puccini or JFK was a "real" man? We've accepted those men for who they were. Did they fit the mold? Is there a mold?
If there is a challenge to be met, and there is, it is to fully become the man that you have the potential to be.
--Jack H. Bender, author of Disregarded: Transforming the School and Workplace through Deep Respect and Courage
