Salvaje de Corazon (Wild at Heart) (Abridged) Audiobook

" While Eldredge's book "Wild at Heart" was paradigm-altering for me, this book was too much of a good thing. It walks nicely through the stages of manhood--boy, cowboy, warrior, lover, king, sage--and does a nice job raising some possibilities for initiating boys (or even one's self) into manhood. And, even though I love the outdoors (camping, hiking, hunting, etc.), Eldredge pushes a bit too hard on that as the primary setting for initiation. "

" My 20 year old son asked me to read this book as he is reading the precursor to it (Wild at Heart). It talks about the stages of the journey into manhood from a Christian perspective. The reading itself was tedious at times because the author had a tendency to carry on for too long, and gave many, many examples of the points he was trying to make. So I skimmed over some of those areas and focused on the main points. I saw a lot of truth in what he was saying, and recognized my son in many of them. I think this is a great book for men to read, preferable as young men but I think that reading at any age as an adult would be helpful, especially if you have sons of your own. I think it is also a good idea for women with sons to read, especially if you are separated or divorced. Wish I had read it when my son was younger. "

" A great insight into the things a man through his life journey might have missed out or will be going through in the future. A wonderful read esp for guys who are open and willing to listen and understand God plan for them in their walk with him. Ladies too should have a read through to better understand brothers, husbands and in bringing up sons. "

" Great follow up to Wild at Heart. A must read for men who want to get innitiated on their masculine journey. I will be reading this book again in the near future. "

" Non-fiction. My son wanted me to read this. He has a terrible relationship with his father. Something in this book was supposed to reflect some message he wanted me to get. I just didn't get it. Begged him to help me get it. Anybody...help me! "

" Good and helpful, even if not everything he says fits my view of things. "

" Much better than the previous book by the author. This book lays out a path throguh life highlighted with stories and examples that in turn add to the book's practicality. It answers some of the questions you're left with reading wild at heart. "

" Excellent book. Dave Ramsey recommends the earlier book--"Wild at Heart." This book is a fascinating study in the development of a man from "Beloved Son" through "Sage." I must-read for any man. "

" An absolutely wonderful perspective about the way a young boy grows into manhood. Understanding these stages is a great step toward raising the king that lives inside every beloved son. "

" Great book by John "

" Good book about the 5 stages of manhood. It has some wonderful insights on what makes us as men tick and also about raising young men to feel loved and empowered by their earthly and heavenly fathers. "

" Excellent book. Really spoke to me. "

" One of the best books I have read in connecting with God through the different stages of the masculine journey "

" Another Eldridge book that was very influential in my life during a crucial growing-up time in my life. "

" Any man with sons must read this book to be sure that he has done everything he can to lead them into maturity as God meant them to be led. "

" I loved this book! I am a father to a seven year old boy and this book not only spoke to me as a father, it also spoke to me as a son. I liked how the author describes each stage of masculinity. I know which stage I am in and which stages I have skipped which have kept me stuck in earlier stages. "

" A good manual of masculine development--the way it should be. "

" Review coming soon; went through it slowly, with a few buddies. Will probably re-read it more quickly myself someday, but I definitely liked it. Not my favorite Eldredge book, though Eldredge is one of my top favorite authors. "

" Maybe because I'm not a guy I couldn't get into this book... haha... "

" A description of the stages of a man's journey through life and how moving from one stage to another affect the rest of his life. This is a sequel to "Wild at Heart" but they can be read independant of each other. I enjoyed this book and found it to be true in my life journey. "

" This was recommended by good friends as an excellent piece for Fathers who are trying to ground their sons in biblical leadership and manhood. Greg and I cannot wait to read it! "

" Great book on the masculine journey and the stages that men take through our lives. This book offered great insight into my own life and why I feel the way I do about certain manhood issues. Some people argue that the author is not scripturally accurate but the book is still worth the time to read. "

" Practical, at least as practical as JE can be, help for raising a son through the stages of manhood. "

" adds so much to what is gained from wild at heart "

" A great read. Inspiring book about how to raise boys, including ourselves to be the men God has in mind. Definitely want to read Wild at Heart now. I'll definitely read this again as my son gets older. "

" This is the sequel to Wild At Heart and Eldridge covers in greater detail what he covered in WAH. This is a must read for anybody trying to understand why we guys are the we are. Girls, if you are wondering why your BF thinks the way he does read this book!!! "

" I think Genesis teaches that God created man to be a gardener, not a warrior. "

" Every man needs to read this book. "

" Hard to get into this book "

" mist stevige onderbouwing van zijn theorien over man zijn en wil en risico zoeken, maar is wel inspirerend en de moeite van het lezen waard "

" If you have a son or a husband, you MUST read this book! "

" Okay, as much as I don't think of myself as a manly man, this still resonated with me. It definitely shows some traps that men can get into and has some good insights. "

" Excellent book. Gave really good perspective on the proper role of the Christian man and the work he needs to do to make right his soul. Highly recommended. "
