Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." That's the offer of Christianity, from God himself. Jesus touched people, and they changed: the blind had sight, the lame walked, the deaf heard, the dead were raised. To be touched by God, in other words, is to be restored, to be made all God means us to be. That is what Christianity promises to do - make us whole, set us free, and bring us fully alive.

This is a book about how a boy? And a man? Becomes a man. It's a guide to the process of masculine initiation, that ancient path every boy and man must take if they would become the man they long to be. The path whereby they come to know they are a man, and are able to live and love from a deep, centered strength. We live in a time where most men (and boys) are essentially fatherless. Whatever their circumstance, they have no man actually taking them...

Man warf ihm alles Mögliche vor - Gesetzesbruch, Umgang mit schlechter Gesellschaft, Trinkgelage. Manche hielten ihn sogar für das personifizierte Böse. Er war eine Bedrohung. Sie mussten ihn einfach aus dem Weg schaffen.
Doch diejenigen, die ihn am besten kannten, liebten ihn innig. Er hatte einen feinen Humor. Seine Großzügigkeit war kaum zu fassen. Er sprach von den ungeheuerlichsten Dingen. Und wenn er zornig wurde, zitterten seine Widersacher....

Dios diseñó al hombre para arriesgarse, dice John Eldredge. Si no, mire los sueños y anhelos escritos en el corazón de todo muchacho: Ser héroe, ser guerrero, vivir una vida de aventura y riesgo. Tristemente, la mayoría abandona esos sueños y anhelos… con la ayuda de un cristianismo que al parecer solo lo presiona a ser «un buen chico». No en balde muchos hombres evitan la iglesia, y los que no a menudo son pasivos y en extremo aburridos....

Most Christians miss the ultimate hope for their future because their views of heaven are vague, religious . . . and, frankly, boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer, noting is lost. Heaven is not an endless life of harp strumming and worship singing in the clouds. Rather, the life we long for - the paradise Adam and Eve knew - is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.
In this five-session study,...
