More quotes by John Eldredge
A man needs a much bigger orbit than a woman. He needs a mission, a life purpose, and he needs to know his name. Only then is he fit for a woman, for only then does he have something to invite her into.
John Eldredge
Most Christians are still living with an Old Testament view of their heart. Jeremiah 17:9 says, 'My heart is deceitfully wicked.' No, it's not. Not after the work of Christ, because the promise of the new covenant is a new heart.
John Eldredge
Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.
John Eldredge
The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.
John Eldredge
Am I really a man? Have I got what it takeswhen it counts?

Moses does not encounter the living God at the mall. He finds Him (or is found by Him) somewhere out in the deserts of Sinai, a long way from the comforts of Egypt... Where did the great prophet Elijah go to recover his strength? To the wild. As did John the Baptist, and his cousin, Jesus, Who is led by the Spirit into the wilderness.
John Eldredge
You live in a world at war. Spiritual attack must be a category you think in or you will misunderstand more than half of what happens in your marriage.
John Eldredge
Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man.
John Eldredge
Christianity has basically communicated to men that the reason God put you on this Earth is to be a good boy. Mind your manners, be a nice guy. That's soul killing!
John Eldredge
A man's calling is written on his true heart, and he discovers it when he enters the frontier of his deep desires.
John Eldredge
A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family.
John Eldredge
The story of your life is the story of the long and brutal assault on your heart by the one who knows what you could be and fears it.
John Eldredge
A wound that goes unacknowledged and unwept is a wound that cannot heal.
John Eldredge
We don't see clearly because we don't see with the eyes of our heart.
John Eldredge
If only Jesus' followers shared his personality. That one shift alone would correct so many of the ridiculous and horrifying things that pass for popular Christianity.
John Eldredge
The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.
John Eldredge
Falling in love with God is the most important thing a person can do.
John Eldredge
We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it.
John Eldredge
Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness it's how we begin to love.
John Eldredge
In the end, it doesn’t matter how well we have performed or what we have accomplished—a life without heart is not worth living.
