Summary: wild at heart
Comment: This is an excellent book. It is both helpful for a man to understand who and why God made him who he is, but also as a study of the Word. If you read this book and compare statements with the Bible it is an awesome thing.
This is my husband's 2nd time reading it. The first copy he read belonged to our church so he could not mark in it. The book I purchased from Amazon is now his and he is marking away!

Summary: Excellent!
Comment: Gave as a gift. He called two days later, said he couldn't put it down & had nearly read the whole book. He knew God was talking to him.

Summary: Wild at Heart
Comment: This is a great book, particularly for parents and/or grandparents raising up boys. I liked it so well I purchased copies for my 2 sons and my son-in-law who are raising sons. Wish I had read it before my sons were born!

Summary: Was expecting something better after reading the reviews.
Comment: If you are a well adjusted male with a decent relationship with your father then there is about 10% of this book that is of any use at all. The author must have had some troubles with his relationship with his father and found a few others who have as well and made this a basis for most of the book. What a bore that part was and he repeated it so many times in different ways.
There are some really good parts of the book about realizing your masculinity and not falling into the "nice guy" christian persona but to realize the natural masculine desires of your heart. The best quote was:
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because that is what the world needs is people who have come alive."
I would have sold the book at HPB but fought through the "wounded male" part of the book thinking better stuff was coming. Not so much. The rest is more generic stuff about living a christian life. Not bad, just not new.

Summary: AN AMAZINGLY INSIGHTFUL BOOK.
Comment: I loved this book. It was recommended to me by a guy friend, who thought every woman should read this book to get a better understanding of the men in their life. I got it for that exact reason, and because I'm a fictional romance writer, in hopes of gaining insight that would allow me to create more realistic male characters.
I feel that both men and women will both benefit from reading this book. It's packed full of insight, for both men and women. I truly feel blessed to have read it. I had several light bulb moments in regards to why men do what they do.
