In this updated edition of the bestselling classic, author John
Eldredge reminds men they need adventure in their lives . . . in their
work, in their love, and their spiritual lives. He reveals how God
designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires
written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and
to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men today have
abandoned these dreams and desires—aided by a Christianity that feels
like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder
that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and
bored to death.
In this provocative six-session video study (DVD/digital video
downloads sold separately), John Eldredge explains how God wants to
heal these deep wounds from earlier years that take away a man's
confidence and—in some cases—his masculinity. He shows that deep within
the heart of every man is a longing for a battle to fight, an adventure
to live, and a beauty to rescue—because that is how God created him. It
is time for the church to reclaim these wounded warriors. It is time to
give men permission to be what God designed them to be—dangerous,
passionate, alive, and free!
Sessions include:
- The Heart of a Man
- The Wound
- A Battle to Fight
- An Adventure to Live
- A Beauty to Rescue
- A Band of Brothers
Sir Robert Anderson uses his investigative gifts to uncover and
explain several of the most misunderstood verses in the Biblical
New Testament. By employing a close and detailed reading of the
holy text in its proper context, Anderson is able to clarify and
expound upon the true meanings expressed. Several of the New
Testament Gospel teachings are often misconstrued or
oversimplified; their overall meaning, or simply the depth of the
passages, are neglected. The author could not stand for such
deficient scholarship of the Bible, and so published this informed
commentary. Several of the passages isolated concern comments made
by Biblical figures such as the Apostles John, Matthew and Paul.
How their words are misread, downplayed or simply ignored in the
schema of the New Testament lore is first identified, then
dismissed by the author. Often, Anderson cites other passages in
the Old and New Testament books which carry relevance or support
the truth of the verse concerned.
