This talk show host needs to go back,reread for application this time.You are a idoit if you did not draw anything out of this book.REREAD REREAD YOU MISSED IT.

Why would you listen to a guy who can not figure out how to answer the phone on his call in show? (5:30) Do you think he is really prepared? Do you think he read more than the first 25-50 pages? He only quotes the introduction from what i remember and i doubt he read the rest where John explains a lot of his opening points.

So i say not reread, but just read the book!

John Eldredge leart eastern mysticism and has trained in thearter he is the consummate false teacher laeding many astray·His ideas dont come from the bible."In modern shamanism, geese are also associated with communication,the ability to express oneself, especially through the use of stories.Its said that the goose as a totem signifies the importance of the childhood belief in stories and legendary places.The stories people liked most as a child might give insight in the patterns in their lives"

@trupela That's the problem with false leadership from false teachers like John Eldredge. Convinces you that if someone doesn't agree with him and speaks out about it, then their your enemy and not christian.

John Eldredge brings us New Age philosophy packaged with Christian lingo. Read "Conversations with God" to learn the basics of deifying emotions. This is an ego stroke to insecure people like John trying to prove and re-prove masculinity, as if validation comes from sensationalism. He also reduces women to "beautiful" and "damsels in distress", lacking external validation too. If John does xyz to feel like a man, why doesn't he feel like a man anyways? Emotions the new face of masculinity?

Christians like you are the reason that christianity has become irrelevent and dead. All your churches speak about God. but you forget to really talk about God's love. because love is an true love is an abstract thing to you. why? because you don't live from your heart. If the heart is so bad, then why did God make it?

I do not like his presentation that much, but I agree with most of things he has said. There is something wrong and dangerous in both putting men and women in such strange boxes (like warrior, heroine) and basing your views on secular understanding of those things. I loved the call from this gentelman who discovered there's no strenght within himself for all of it comes from God and dependence on him. And I also wish there were better books on how the Bible defines manhood and womanhood.

I agree. Go back and reread the book, because you're obviously not understanding what it was saying. And you don't have to be such a sarcastic jerk about everything. I can't believe that you preach or anything revolving around that sort of thing. Wow.

@nancymohr i agree. it's okay to disagree with someone about something, but you don't have to dismantle them totally just to prove your point. Hank Hanegraff is the same way.

[neverbackdown1983]

i wonder what this guy believes, because he's like a lot of guys who spend all their time dissing people for what they believe but never really express what they believe. i believe a lot of critics are cowards who don't have the balls to believe in something, which is why they go after people who have strong faith.
