Summary: The Way is Narrow
Comment: I can't understand how some people have actually accused John Eldredge of making the Gospel better than it truly is... as if that's possible!!! The Gospel IS good news, and if the Gospel you're following isn't freeing you and making you want to burst at the seams just to get a chance to share it with others, then it's NOT the Gospel of Christ Jesus you're holding. Period. However, it's not a surprise to me that Eldredge is taking some abuse. Jesus promised that the way to Life is narrow and only a few would find it.
The great thing about the way Eldredge writes is his ability to compile the greatest Christian writings into one source. When you read an Eldredge book, you're not just getting his particular point of view. You get the Bible (in several translations), CS Lewis, Gerald May, St. Augustine, Thomas a' Kempis, GK Chesterton, Oswald Chambers, etc... His writings are very similiar to those "IDIOT'S GUIDES" that you see on nearly every subject possible (camping, web design, etc...). Those guides are simply created from compiling the most reliable sources into one, easy to read book. That's John Eldredge for you. Think of any of his books as "THE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO THE GOSPEL." Eldredge's writings are balanced and full of Truth (with a capital "T"), because he is simply compiling the best of the best writings from those who have really walked with Jesus.
This is not NEW stuff. (And I'm sure John Eldredge would be the first to admit that.) This is the Gospel as it's always been. If it sounds brand new, it just means you've probably been drinking from a muddy river instead of the Rivers of Living Water. (ie: Though I was raised in the church, I never truly heard The Gospel until I was 17 years old. If anyone knows what it is to THINK you know Jesus and Freedom only to find out all you truly know is religion and shame, it's me.)
If you haven't read anything by John Eldredge, go for it. My introduction to Eldredge was Sacred Romance. (I later read Wild at Heart, then Journey of Desire.) Dare to Desire is great if you just want to find out where Eldredge is coming from in one hour or less. There isn't anything this man has written that is not Life-giving and filled with the thirst-quenching Truth as Jesus meant it. Drink up! =) (www.ransomedheart.com is Eldredge's website. He has valuable teaching tapes / cds.)

Summary: A Look at Eldredge and Inspiration for Your Day!
Comment: This thin, but very thought-provoking, harcover volume will give you a good idea of what to expect from the other books by John Eldredge.
Along with the beautiful pictures and some inspriational quotes, it boils down much of 'Journey of Desire' and presents some of the ideas drawn out in 'Wild at Heart'. And - besides perhaps whetting your appetite for more Eldredge - this book will provide inspiration on your personal journey.
For women or men, brand-new or long-time Christians, this actually will make a nice gift for those who are looking for encouragement or 'something a little more' from life. (In fact, I have to get a new one after giving my first one away!)
While I do not agree with everything Eldredge writes, his books have encouraged me to think about what I believe and search other writings. That is worth a lot!

Summary: An invitation to live
Comment: This book is simply an invitatin to go out and live life as it was ment to be. Eldredge did use a lot of the same stuff from Wild at Heart again in this book, but the repetition of those points were fairly brief, and they are things that are beneficial to be reminded of once in a while. The great thing about this book as that it is so short that if you ever simply need a little encouragement you can just pick it back up and read it again. Its invitation to live life to the fullest is too important to let yourself forget. I loved it and have read it a few times.
