'Wild at Heart' created a set of expectations maybe, partly, on my part, certainly on my publisher's part, but also in the world out there, that my next books would be as remarkable.

We're told that you can have a relationship with Jesus, but most Christians don't experience Jesus personally like that. They just don't. We honor Him. We respect Him. We worship Him. We don't experience Him and His personality like we do the people we love the most in our lives.

There are a lot of good men out there who just need a little direction and leadership in order for them to offer what they have to young men and boys.

We've made elevator music of Jesus Christ. We've made Him the most boring, bland, blah person; and He was the most revolutionary man.

We have a Father, and He cares about our internal world - issues of motive, issues of fear, issues of validation.

'Wild at Heart' simply came out of my journey as a man and then my work with men.
