  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What do you all think of John Eldredge's books. I read Wild at Heart over the weekend, and it just spoke volumes to me. It really hit home. I went ahead this morning and bought some more of his books.

However, I was looking on the net reading some reviews, and many reviewers do not like his writings. However, I really liked this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

What do you all think of his works?

I've read Wild at Heart and Waking the Dead, and I just started The Journey of Desire this morning. I love Eldredge's books. I also have The Sacred Romance, but I haven't got around to reading it yet. I love the fresh way of thinking he presents. And whats more, his writing is suprisingly relevant in my life right now. I'll have to see some of those reviews, because I'd be interested to know what faults anyone could find with these books.

Hey guys,

I am thinking about getting and reading "Wild at Heart". I did a search on the internet for reviews and found several that thought Eldredge's book had some unbiblical ideas.

Those of you that have read the book what do you think?

Can you be specific? What are the alleged unbiblical ideas?

I don't remember noticing anything that concerned me.
