Title: Not the John Eldredge I'd Heard About
Product review: I'd head a lot about John Eldredge and was excited to get going through the book, however once I started reading it...I couldn't finish it. I had several problems with the book, but the main one is that the entire book is based off of a bad theological premise. Eldredge makes the assumption that since the Bible says that Adam was placed in the garden, that he was created outside of the garden of Eden (not a bad assumption at all). But because of that, all men have always longed for the outdoors, wilderness and adventure. That seems to be a pretty big jump to me. Besides the fact of the many guys I know who are incredibly Godly men who don't long to be in the wilderness...this book implies that they aren't really living like the man God created them to be.I've heard great things about Eldredge's other books, including Waking the Dead, but I'm aphrehensive about spending my money on them after my disappointment with this one
