Whatever your age may be, your Father is ready to take up your journey. And how parents can offer that initiation to their sons. "God wants to father us." In The Way of the Wild Heart, Eldredge reveals how God comes to a man and takes him on the masculine journey, how nearly all the events of a man's life can come togther to provide the initiation he never received. "We aren't meant to figure life out on our own," says John Eldredge. Their fears, anger, boredom, and their many addictions all come out of this fatherless place within them, a fundamental uncertainty in the core of their being. They find themselves on their own to figure life out, and that is a lonely place to be. Whatever their circumstance, they have no man actually taking them through the many adventures, trials, battles and experiences they need to shape a masculine heart within them. This companion workbook to Eldredges The Way of the Wild Heart sheds light on the initiation into manhood, reaching out to unfinished men and helping them identify their weaknesses, baggage, and uncertainties that hinder them from becoming the individuals and mentors that they strive to be. We live in a time where most men (and boys) are essentially fatherless. The path whereby they come to know they are a man, and are able to live and love from a deep, centered strength. It's a guide to the process of masculine initiation, that ancient path every boy and man must take if they would become the man they long to be. This is a book about how a boy?and a man?becomes a man.
