Product Description
Abandoning the format of workbooks-as-you-know-them, the Wild at Heart Field Manual takes men on a journey through which John Eldredge encourages them tobe dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in theheart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life ofadventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires,aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure tobe a nice guy. It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and thosewho go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book,Eldredge gives men permission to be what God designed them to be --dangerous, passionate, alive, and free. This book is filled withquestions, exercises, journaling ideas, and guided exploration of thearts that will lead men on a journey to discover the masculine heartthat God gave them.

 From a womans perspective November 30, 2002

I knew before starting this book that it was written for men, but because i had heard it spoken of so highly i felt that there must be some lesson in it for me, being a young woman. This book was incredible, not only in helping me to better understand men and what they desire and need, but also in understanding women and how God created us, and how if men will be men and women will be women, we will fit together in the blessed perfection that God created us. It is a wonderfully didactic, uplifting book that is firmly grounded in the Bible. It has been a blessing to me and my relationship as well as to my male friends to whom i loaned it.

I must admit that I am not one for the hype attached to books
these days but this one knocked my socks off.
I am a pastor of a church and have read many books. But this
one really hit me where I live. I would highly recommend this
book to anyone man serious about the life God created him to live.
Eldredge takes you all the way back to creation and gives
you your purpose while showing you how Satan has taken that away
from you.
If you read it you need to let your wife read it as well.
Particularly chapters 1 & 2.
It will change your life!

Eldredge's book, Wild at Heart, is a wonderful primer to journey deeper into the heart of a man. But if you are like me (sometimes a little slow on the uptake), you may need an extra push to press what you have read into life. That is what this work book offers-a chance to get the ideas off the pages, out of the book, through your brain and into your life. Most men have a harder time getting in touch with their feelings and the desires that flow out of a new heart in Christ. Now we have some solid, practical guidance that is rooted in faith and fidelity. As well, Eldredge brings some great correctives to criticisms leveled against Wild at Heart. Best book and guide I've seen in years and I use both in small groups. Hope you enjoy it.

This is the field manual for the book Wild At Heart. Mine is very worn from having been worked through 4 times. This is a great resource if you are working through Wild At Heart, either by yourself or in a group. It will help you really examine and work through the book.
This workbook is well laid out with lots of room for answers, and a number of little sections to help you on your journey as you work through it. Some of these supplemental sections are:
· A Break in the Clouds
· From the Map
· Warning!
· Dispatch
· Getting Your Bearings
Each chapter which parallels the book, begins with a 'Gut Reaction' - what is your first take on that chapter in the book? This helps set the bearings for where you will go in that chapter. As you work through it you will be drawn deeper and deeper into the masculine journey.
Eldredge begins each chapter with quotes that span church history and denominations. He must be one of the most widely read men I have encountered. He draws from that breadth of knowledge to show a variety of views on topics and tries to help you see where God is wanting to work in your life.
The one drawback, if you use it in conjunction with the DVD curriculum, is that the DVD does not follow the book exactly, and with 12 chapters in the book and field manual that follow each other exactly, and 8 in the DVD, it doesn't seem weighted evenly.
The Field Manual is indispensable if you are going to work through the DVDs and is a great supplement to the original book. For you, or other men in your life, this book will be a great tool on your journey to authentic Christian manhood.

Check out the article at on Eldredge:
(...)
Yes, he is a radical, but in his defence - so was Jesus. It's been a while since I've read Wild at Heart (WaH), but I recall it being refreshing to my faith, just as Eldredge in person has been refreshing to me. I've had the privilege of listening to him speak a few times.
I've read all his books (haven't seen the videos) and I get them confused, but what I've really taken away from the man is his vision of the way church should be, that is a band of brothers. Granted, he doesn't delve into any 'bands of sisters.' Probably only because that would be outside the scope of this book? Anyways, Jesus exemplified intimacy through discipleship with three men and he also kept a group of buddies known as "The Twelve." And from that he left a legacy.
I wonder, how is Sunday morning church like Jesus' model? I'm sure discipleship happens in churches, but not nearly enough.
Some readers complain that they have not been wounded by their fathers and therefore this book doesn't really apply to them. I've had a great dad, most of the time. I don't think he's given me any major wounds... But I did get wounds during gradeschool, though I won't dive into that here... The point is that we all received serious wounds as children, even if they didn't come from our fathers. Like Milton says, "Happy, but for so happy ill secured." So if you take the father-wound theme in stride and try to be a good reader (looking at the world thru the author's eyes & saving criticsm for later if at all), then you will enjoy the book and maybe it will change you.
