Review: THE WAY OF THE WILD HEART by John Eldredge

This book is very similar to Eldredge's Wild at Heart, which makes sense given that it's a companion to and an expansion of that book. Like that book, it has a thin veneer of Christianity, but it's only a veneer.

The biggest problem is that the book is simply nonbiblical. At best, it expands on Scripture; at worst it flatly contradicts it. While the discussion of the various stages of manhood is interesting, the reader can't help getting the impression that he's learning more about Eldredge than about the ostensible subject of the book.

I'm sure that wasn't his aim. I'm sure he just wanted to write a book that would help people. Unfortunately, I can't review his intentions,only the book as it is, and that's what I don't recommend.
