About 4 years ago, I read Wild At Heart by John Eldredge. Since then, I have read all of his books and have been quite touched by his message. I think that he and his ministry have made a huge impact on many people and he has accomplished some great things. This is a very boiled down version of his teachings but he basically teaches that God renews the hearts of his believers and makes them new and good therefore the desires that come from the heart are God's way speaking to us.
I have tried to understand Eldredge's writings and apply them to my own life. This has led to much frustration and disapointment. I am not going to say that he is off base because I know for a fact that his writings have touched people and helped them grow in their relationship with God. One person, who was part of a Wild At Heart group, it completly turned his life around.
I just think that it is not for me. Perhaps, I am just not getting it or missing some of his finer points but no matter the reason, it just is not working out.
I guess it is sort of like art or music, one person can see or hear something and it has a huge impact and yet to someone else it means little or nothing.
It has been an intresting path to travel on and a different way of exploring my faith but for me, it has ended. |
