This book was interesting. I was afraid to blog about this book because of what the book is about: masturbation. But, I’ll be as delicate as I can. I wasn’t sure about this book because of the guy’s theology. Some of it I don’t know what to think about. Introduction: Watch Out for that Armored [...]
A Beauty to Rescue This was the most difficult and emotional chapter for me to read. This blog entry will probably reveal the most personal stuff about me. People, maybe even friends, might choose to ignore me or change how they feel about me by reading this. But, I guess there’s nothing I could [...]
A Battle to Fight: The Strategy It is pretty amazing how paratroopers were being cowards and we drunk on liquor (opening example). I should say they’d be charged with derelection of duty. But it’s true that the church in America has done similar things in Christianity and spiritual warfare. No one wants to talk [...]
A Battle to Fight: The Enemy “That is why God created you – to be his intimate ally, to join him in the Great Battle. You have a specific place in the line, a mission God made you for. That is why it is so essential to hear from God about your true name, [...]
Healing the Wound I think it’s about time that Eldridge loses the tough guy approach and gets soft. Maybe he’s human after all. My dad was pretty good and tried his best, but I never felt the soul-to-soul oneness like Eldridge said he and his sons have, and I’m sure all Christian dads are [...]
The Father’s Voice In the opening section, I do agree with Eldridge that, “Most of our life-changing moments are realized as such later.” We always here that struggles will strengthen us and that we probably won’t know why we we’re going through them at the moment, but we will later. I know for some of [...]
The Battle for a Man’s Heart John Eldridge opens up this chapter by discussing a time one of his boys came home and had been bullied for the first time. Eldridge tells his boy to hit the bully as hard as he can next time the bully hits him. What kind of Christian father [...]
“Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the soul. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound.” Page 60. I agree that every man carries a wound. In a way, I agree that the wound comes from the father. But, I [...]
“I’d double back just for a few more minutes in the presence of soeone so powerful and noble and deadly.” Page 40. Lions are such great animals and deserve so much respect. Just as Eldridge addresses lions, this can be applied to God/Jesus. It’s so easy to forget that Jesus is the “Lion of Judah”, [...]
