John Eldredge
For after years of living in a cage, a lion no longer even believes it is a lion . . . and a man no longer believes he is a man.
John Eldredge
Am I really a man? Have I got what it takeswhen it counts?
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
You can't fight a battle you don't think exists.
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
Story is the language of the heart.
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.
