Title: Not wild about Wild at Heart
Product review: John Eldredge wants us to believe that Jesus wants men to be like William Wallace in Braveheart. His idea, simply, is that men are warriors and Jesus' desire is for each of us to find our way back to that place- Doing battle, Going on Adventures and Winning a beauty.He offers primarily celluloid theology, substituting movie scripts for scripture and the actions of William Wallace, James Bond and others for the lessons of the Christ. He never offers to reconcile his thesis with the words from the sermon on the mount- that happy men are made from those who mourn, are meek and make peace.While his ideas about healing the wounds left on us by the past hold great merit, trying to find that healing in film plots instead of Christ's words falls far short of where today's Christian men need to be.
