You literally turn away from the offerings of the world, the opinions of others, and your own strategies for achieving life and instead choose to stand under God’s divine viewpoint. When we cling to other things, believing they will satisfy our souls, we put something between us and God—actually, we put something in front of Him. They may be good things, but when they become highest in our hearts, we get into trouble; we’ve stepped away from our first love, maybe...

He does the same after healing a man of leprosy: “Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: ‘See that you don’t tell this to anyone’” (Mark 1:44). A strong warning?

YolieOnlineJohn Eldredge author of "Wild at Heart" on CNNJohn Eldredge's book "Wild at Heart" is a good read on learning the core desires of men. Around the 3:05 mark, John explains that men want 3 things:
1. A battle to fight
2. An adventure to live
3. A beauty to rescue
When I was doing research for my first chapter in "Pass The Memo", I found this to be true.
I just wish John was given more time to give details about his points. I've seen other interviews and he always offers great advice on men, from both a physical & spiritual standpoint.
