“Sincere and based in the teachings of Christ...full of gusto and nerve.”
Eldredge uses his playful style to uncover the truth about who Jesus really was. With an eyebrow-raising warning about the "poison of religion," he urges readers to turn from religious power displays and legalism and instead spend time falling in love with the man, Jesus. Eldredge repeats tales from the Gospels to reveal a leader who was both humorous and confrontational, generous and moody. Eldredge clearly loves his subject, almost chuckling in delight at Jesus' antics. Readers get an intriguing glimpse of Jesus waiting his turn in line, "snorting" in anger, and artfully outsmarting his enemies. ... Still, readers will find a three-dimensional Jesus and may find themselves re-reading scripture with an eye on characters' feelings.

Their summation of marriage. It can be done. And it is worth it. So is this book.
The best, most insightful book I have read in the last five years. Every man and wife and every mother of a boy really should read this book.
" What great grace we have in God who loves us and forgives us of our sins. "
" John Eldredge never disappoints. It is amazing to be able to get a grasp, in practical ways, on what it means to live a life of holiness, and no it is not something that you have to wait until you are 80 to attain. "
" Nope, couldn't finish it. Got 75% through, and I found myself getting more annoyed at his conclusions. It's sad, because his earlier books were great. "
