But it was his decision to acknowledge his emotions and yield to God’s call on his life that made Wilson the man and leader he is today. As the founder of one of the country’s most esteemed youth organizations, Wilson explains the dangers men face in our culture’s definition of “masculinity” and gives listeners hope that healing is possible.

Our hearts quicken when we hear a rousing call to action, when we see someone taking a hill that must be taken.

It offers a way of gauging the strength of our integrity and a path toward growing in courage.

A Walmart greeter, a nurse, and an astronaut walk into a church. They each bring with them their own exhaustion and exasperation, their own uncertainty about how their work matters to God.

Retirement. You’ve worked for it, planned for it, and dreamed about it: life’s great permanent vacation.

On the football field NFL great Jim Kelly was a strong-armed passer, leading his team to victory after victory.

For generations, other religions and cultures have put their children through a rite of passage to adulthood. Many people are aware of the Jewish practice of the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, for example. The reality, however, is that many children today don't learn how to become adults on purpose; rather, they ride the wave of adolescence toward an unknown adult future. Moms, dads, and other perfectly placed adults have the unique opportunity to guide the teenagers in their life toward adulthood. This is not a privilege to be taken lightly, but neither is it an impossible task.

Wild at Heart helped men to rediscover their masculine hearts-to be the men God designed them to be. Now this small book goes a step further, encouraging fathers to pass this insight on to their children. It is not by accident, contends John Eldredge, that little boys dream of being heroes and little girls dream of being rescued by a prince. It is woven into the very fiber of the sexes. Men struggle with this most pivotal role, and Eldredge's writing is the affirmation and encouragement each man needs.

There is a process by which God builds a bold man, and it is seen in the life of Joseph. In this process, God will work providentially, in every detail of the man's life.

Without such role models, boys will naturally choose perpetual childhood over the rigors of becoming a man-as many women, teachers, coaches, employers, and adults in authority can quickly attest.

In a powerful way, he answers the "Yeah, but how?" question every man asks after being stirred to be a good father.

It offers a window into the perspective of a man who went from "hello" to "I do" in nine months and then figured out how hard marriage could be.

That's why this book is anchored by stories that other couples will relate to and can easily learn from.
