Building on his book Wild at Heart, through personal storytelling and biblical accounts, Eldredge unfolds the journey of men from Boyhood to Cowboy to Warrior to Lover to King to Sage. For each of the six stages he includes a chapter of description followed by a chapter on raising a son through each phase. This is a quest about becoming, about healing and about being fathered and fathering others along the masculine journey. Although this book is clearly written for men, moms of boys may also find it an interesting read.
