Battle Cry

"John Eldredge calls men, and now women, to a mythical, mystical adventure of faith"

Vincent Bacote | posted 11/01/2003 12:00AM

Eldredge's latest is easily the better book. Even critical readers will appreciate the battle cry and strategy found within, and more rational types should not dismiss the text as pietism revisited.

Ultimately Wild at Heart is a dissonant chord, while the substance of Waking the Dead yields a harmony that exceeds typical pop offerings.

Vincent Bacote is an assistant professor of theology at Wheaton College in Illinois.
