Into the Wilds: The Dangerous Truth Every Man Needs to Know, Paperback

Brent Henderson teaches spiritual truths to men and punctuates these truths with great stories of safaris, wilderness excursions, and hunting trips that keep men's interest while also supporting the spiritual lessons. He teaches about God's love and grace, and he gets very honest about how men struggle with ego, approval, impure thoughts, spiritual attacks, and what to do after hitting bottom. Brent tells his own story of experiencing a personal failing as worship leader of a church and the painful way in which he was ostracized and isolated from support during his ``restoration.`` He talks about the people who stepped in to help him find healing and about how to understand that grace and real restoration are available through God. He also tells stories from the many men he has counseled about moving from shame and failure to a place of relief and hope. He uses an acronym ``man TEA``-- Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions--to help the men he disciples and counsels. He tackles issues of pornography, addiction, lust, and marriage. Through it all, he is adamant that real transformation isn't based on trying harder but only in experiencing God's grace and love.
