I was eagerly looking forward to reading this book because I have been struggling with what the Bible truly says about how to be a good husband, father, and man in general. I often see people confusing the role of the man with what society says and was looking for a good Biblical viewpoint on it. After reading Eldredge's book, I was left disappointed. I felt that he was writing from a soapbox more than from experience and research. I didn't actually go back and count but it certainly felt like he referenced movies more than he did the Bible. Finally, while he tried to be balanced in his description of men, his descriptions came out more stereotyped as those guys that like to hunt, camp, wrestle, etc.
Overall, I do think that this book could be good for many men and women out there, but not for those looking for a Biblical perspective on what it means to be a man.Get more detail about Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul.
