I went to Barnes and Noble a few weeks ago and reread John Eldredge's book, "Wild at Heart" and the follow up, "Captivating," which he cowrote with his wife Stasi. I wanted to see if I would like it better reading them again. And I realized I actually disliked it even more when I read them again. I think the book uses some questionable theology, reinforces societal power dynamics when it comes to gender roles, and makes culturally insensitive claims of masculinity that ignore the fact that he's coming from a white middle class male perspective. Maybe someday I'll do a talk called "Tame at Heart" or "Uncaptivating."

hello i am currently reading wild at heart with a group of guys and did a little research on the book....i would have to agree with you on the book that it tries to generalize how men should be but there is one point i see with him eye to eye-that some christian men are bored. cheers!
