New Album Coming

Our buddies Barry and Michelle Patterson are in their studio cutting a new album.  They are phenomenally talented and I can't wait to share their new album with you.  They've just posted an audio snippet on their blog.  Check it out here.

The Way of Wild Heart

Here's a newsletter I recently received from John Eldredge announcing the release of his latest book.  I've just finished reading it and it is by far his best yet.

Friends,

I am really, REALLY excited to announce the release of my new book, The Way of the Wild Heart – A Map for the Masculine Journey .

 

I think you are going to love it. Five years ago I wrote Wild at Heart to awaken men (and women) to what God set in the heart of a man. But this new book is the one I’ve been wanting to write, because it lays out the masculine journey stage by stage, and shows men (and those who love them) how God comes to us and Fathers us into a genuine masculine wholeness and strength. Wild at Heart began the vision; The Way of the Wild Heart provides guidance through the journey. The book is written on two levels. First, for men who find themselves in the masculine journey but needing a guide. And second, for parents of sons (of any age) who want to know how to raise them to be men. For a brief video of me talking about the new book, click on this link:

The Way of the Wild Heart - Video Introduction by John Eldredge

You can email the video to friends to let them know about the new release.

Would you join me in praying that this message reaches many men, and women, and boys, and that it brings healing to their lives? O, how I pray for that.
                           
Together with you for the hearts of men and women,
 
John

Keen about my new Keens

I just purchased a pair of Keen Newport sandals, and they absolutely ROCK!!!! These are the best shoes I have ever owned. They are incredibly comfortable, very supportive and look awesome.

Today I took the fam to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Outdoor Expo and I had to park about 1.5 miles away. After walking around all afternoon and spending the final hour Kayaking with Anna, I jogged back to my car and found the sandals comfortable even when wet. I've also found them great for mountain biking. I'd highly recommend anyone who spends any time outdoors invest in a pair.

Check them out at KeenFootwear.com.

Buy my digital camera on Ebay

I'm selling my digital camera so I can buy a smaller one to take with me everywhere. Its a great camera, just not small enough to go in my pocket and I want to take more pics for this site.

SORRY ITS SOLD

Wild At Heart Boot Camp - Registration Opens Today

Last year I attended the Wild At Heart Boot Camp put on by the Ransomed Heart Team at Frontier Ranch in the mountains of Colorado. It was the best weekend of my entire life. I met with God and it completely changed the direction of my life. I'm going again, and would love it if you would too.

They have so many people trying to go that they do a free lottery and choose people to invite. Pray about entering the lottery (IT'S FREE) and then if God wants you to go it'll be easy for him to make sure you're selected.

AGAIN, if you're only going to go to one conference in your life, THIS IS IT!

Shameless Plug for Michelle Reed Photography

The picture on the home page of this site and the good ones (the bad ones I took myself) in the family photo gallery were all taken by a great friend of ours, Michelle Reed. Michelle is a photographer here in the central Texas area who has a studio at her home. She also does on location shoots. If you need family pictures, senior pictures, or commercial photography I'd recommend you call Michelle. She's the best! Take a look at some of her work at her website MichelleReed.com.
