Wild at Heart by John Eldredge
The subtitle reads Discovering the Secret of a Man’s Soul.
This is an older book published in 2001 that talks about the recovery and release of a man’s heart, passion and nature. The first part of the book examines the nature of the masculine soul, a man needs a battle to fight, he needs something and someone to fight for. The second part of the book talks about the wounds that come to a man though life and the subsequent healing that God provides. These wounds nearly always come from a father and of course our healing comes from God the Father. The third part of the book looks at the battles engaged by the masculine soul. A man looks for validation, for without it he doesn’t know who he is and what he’s here for. God provides this validation. The final part of the book talks about living a life of adventure and purpose “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
