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!

More quotes by 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
I wasn't mean I wasn't evil. I was nice. And let me tell you, a hesitant man is the last thing in the world a woman needs. She needs a lover and a warrior, not a Really Nice Guy.
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
Every man carries a wound. I have never met a man without one. No matter how good your life may have seemed to you, you live in a broken world full of broken people.
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
The point is the love story. We live in a love story in the midst of war.
John Eldredge
How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman’s function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. (What’s Wrong with the World)
John Eldredge
But a wound unfelt is a wound unhealed.
John Eldredge
We are made in the image of God we carry within us the desire for our true life of intimacy and adventure. To say we want less than that is to lie.
John Eldredge
Desire reveals design, and design reveals destiny.
John Eldredge
Am I really a man? Have I got what it takeswhen it counts?
John Eldredge
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
Caring for your heart is also how you protect your relationship with God... [The heart] is where we commune with him. It is where we hear his voice. Most of the folks I know who have never heard God speak to them are the same folks who live far from their hearts.
John Eldredge
The most dangerous man on earth is the man who has reckoned with his own death. All men die few men ever really live.
John Eldredge
Falling in love with God is the most important thing a person can do.
John Eldredge
Faith looks back and draws courage hope looks ahead, and keeps desire alive.
John Eldredge
You can't fight a battle you don't think exists.
John Eldredge
We don't see clearly because we don't see with the eyes of our heart.
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
Story is the language of the heart.
