wild at heart

I've just finished reading John Eldredge's Wild at Heart for the second time. Finished it in 2 days heh kasi bangga sikit. But wow, I am astounded. The book touches on masculinity; masculinity in its truest sense. And this book, as a friend said, 'blew apart my perspective on godly masculinity and our original purpose'. 

I've never had so many revelations from a single book before. Such an eye-opener, and reading it the second time, I realized I missed some mind-blowing stuff. I especially loved this quote from him: 'Morality is a good thing, but morality is never the point.' There will come a time in a man's life when he has to take control of his masculinity, his strength and aggression. 

One more quote — I promise this will be the last, pinky promise. 

'Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are . . . bored.'

So. True. Lacking passion. Fire. Masculinity.

I won't say much more about Wild at Heart, but the one thing I will say, is that every man — both young and old — needs to read this. Once, twice, probably several times.

ps: I will be posting several quotes from the book on here. It might get annoying, especially if you're a girl :P but I need this sort of like a reminder to myself. Cause yes, I reread my old posts from time to time. Judge me all you want..
