“gengwell, I know quite a few comps who cannot stand Eldridge for the reasons you give: Fleshly/worldly. one comp I know and like a lot says it is fairy tale stuff. What if that “beauty” has a masectomy or a horrible disfiguring accident. Then what?”

True. I actually was a little more blunt in my critique of the section “A Beauty To Rescue” in the book. I said – “what do all the ugly damsel’s in distress do in Eldredge’s world?”

I should make my position clear. I think “Wild At Heart” is an important book and I can recommend it, but with a big caveat regarding the afore mentioned section and an even bigger warning to not fall prey to pride and selfishness when exploring one’s masculinity. Scirpture, especially our current passage, needs to be used to temper any man’s testosterone rush when reading “Wild At Heart”.
