	Wild at Heart Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul By John Eldredge Wild at Heart offers a refreshing break from the chorus of voices urging men to be more responsible, reliable, dutiful ... and dead. God designed men to be dangerous, says Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in every boy's heart: to be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires---aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It's no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be---dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.
	The Way of the Wild Heart A Map for The Masculine Journey By John Eldredge Many men face two looming questions at some point in their life: "What does it mean to be a man, and am I one?" The Way of the Wild Heart offers a detailed map on how to become a man. Exploring six biblically based stages of manhood, Eldredge initiates men into a new understanding and ownership of their masculinity and equips them to effectively lead their sons to manhood. Along the way, men will find what their father never gave them. Women will discover that before her man can love freely, he needs validation as a man, and parents will learn how boys become good men.
	Waking the Dead The Glory of a Heart Fully Alive By John Eldredge In Waking the Dead, John Eldredge cuts straight to the heart.

	Epic: The Story God is Telling and the Role That is Yours to Play By John Eldredge Now with a new cover, Epic invites us to revisit the drama of life, viewing God not only as the author but also as the lead actor and exploring His motives and His heart. As Eldredge retells the gospel in four acts, he examines the power of story, the universal longing for a "plot" that makes sense deep inside us, our desire for a meaningful role to play, our love of books and movies, and how all of this points to the gospel itself.
