Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Brent Henderson teaches spiritual truth 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 men about God's love and grace, and he gets very honest about how men struggle with ego, approval, impure thoughts, spiritual attack, 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 speaks of the people who stepped in to help him find healing and of how to understand that grace and real restoration is 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, marriage, and failure. Through it all, he is adamant that real transformation isn't based on trying harder but instead is found only through experiencing God's grace and love.
Synopsis
Brent Alan Henderson understands what makes men tick, how to capture and hold their attention, and how to move men to action. It's all about identity. Brent guides men on both a physical and spiritual expedition into the deepest and darkest places on the continent, and, more importantly, into the depths of the masculine soul. Into the Wilds helps men to discover who they really are at their core, while also providing necessary tools to break free from unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and actions.
You'll bunk next to Brent as he's stranded in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness with hungry brown bears circling his tent. You'll ride along as storms and riptides thrash his rubber Zodiac, trying to dump you both into the icy depths of Cook Inlet. You'll sit at his campfire on the remote African plains, listening to roaring lions on the hunt. You'll encounter the yellow, glowing eyes of hyenas locked onto your own from just ten feet away and hold your breath as poisonous black mambas and puff adders slither by looking for their next meal. You'll be marooned in the North Pacific Ocean, almost drown multiple times, risk hypothermia, and somehow make the trip back in order to discover how to weather the harsh storms we all face on the home front.
Brent's firsthand collection of hard-to-top guy stories, along with the lessons learned from surviving his own personal failures and struggles, make Into the Wilds a book that will hold a man's attention from cover to cover. It will awaken the heart, guide you through the wilderness, and equip you to overcome the harsh realities of the unseen and overwhelming forces of life.
