Greetings Peoples,

I'm reading the book, Wild at Heart by John Eldredge.

I wanted to get input/discussions about it from those who have read it.

My big question at this point, I'm only half way through it, is in regards to his description of men.

He talks about male behaviours that I have never understood...have always considered 'bad'.

The need to have activites full of danger.

Talking about his son punching him and drawing blood...and his response was, "Good Job."

Talking about when his son was pushed down by a bully and he said, "Next time, I want you to punch him as hard as you can."

My older brother played teaparty with me. My eldest older brother was hardly around when I was growing up.

I have a relationship with both of them...my eldest brother has turned his life around and is a father himself. But his fierceness still scares me.

IS this normal?

I'm finding myself questioning beliefs I've held about men...beliefs that I've held for a long time.

Any other questions comments about the book would be welcome.

Hugs.
