The masculine journey, according to best-selling author John Eldredge, begins first at boyhood, then progresses to the cowboy stage, then warrior, then lover, followed by king, and finally as an "older-father sage." Each phase of the journey has its own unique challenges, issues, and crucial elements relevant to your development in spiritual growth and maturity.
John admits that local churches have not served men well in transitioning from one stage to the next, and he offers tremendous insights that are required for healthy transition into each stage of a man's journey through life.
This book is recommended to ALL men. If you are a grandfather, father, or son, you will be inspired to walk closer to God and develop much-needed relationships with other Christian men. This title is well-worth the read.
"I
highly recommend this book as an excellent understanding of the
development of a man and what makes a whole and complete man." -- Andrew

On The Back Cover
I can fix it. I don't need directions. I can figure this out on my own. These thoughts that erupt from a man's bravado, from his deep urge to be a real man. Yet underneath this, there is a louder voice countering, You can't. You're not capable. You're weak. Many men -- possibly all men -- face two looming questions at some point in their life. What does it mean to be a man, and am I one? The Way of the Wild Heart reaches
out to "unfinished men" trying to understand and live their role as men
and fathers. Exploring six Biblically based stages, John Eldredge
initiates men into a new understanding and ownership of their manhood
and equips them to effectively lead their sons to manhood. Hardcover. 256 pages
