Kristin D. (whats-her-face) reviewed on 3/29/2010

This is book is quite disappointing, as it rests on stereotypical gender roles/depictions to define men and women within the Christian context. Eldredge attempts to define the "True man" but in doing so neglects a large proportion (if not the majority)of men who do not fall into this hyper-masculine portrayal. In addition for someone who gives such prominence to women within the needed accomplishments of each man's life, they rarely appear in good depiction within the book. The book also sits firmly within the realm of elitism. The imagery of this book is no doubt attractive but, only a small proportion of the population can actually live such expensive lives. Lastly, and of greatest importance, there are serious theological issues in within its pages as its central claim is human-centric and has little to do with kingdom.
