I would also recommend The Way of the Wild Heart (Eldredge's followup book) as it explains the stages or transitions of manhood. At each stage, we need a kind of initiation into the next era of our lives and often a man's journey is stunted because his father (or significant male figure in his life) didn't/couldn't help in that transition. Eldredge demonstrates that despite that challenge, God is there to initiate us into "manhood" at every stage. I'd recommend this one for women as well in order to reflect on a Christian concept of masculinity. You're right, the world is de-genderizing men and women and Eldredge provides some good counter arguments and correctives. LynLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998346902027037420noreply@blogger.com
