Wild and Wise - A legacy journal for the real spiritual lives of men.

Not every man belongs to a religious denomination but every man has a spiritual life. Whether he is aware or not, a man has a deep hunger to find meaning and purpose for his life. This journal contains 38 meditations that reflect on the challenges and choices that shape a man’s spiritual life and the legacy he leaves behind. How he uses wild and wisdom energy determines the kind of impact he has on his world and to what degree he is aware of his ‘true self’, his God-self.

Too often men are distracted or addicted and do not have the awareness and words to name the spiritual realities that are embedded in everyday life. This legacy journal is designed to wake men up to the great mysteries and spiritual adventures that offer a deep and transforming life.

All men have spiritual hungers but very often don’t call them that.

• What is it about Sturgis, South Dakota, that draws 3 to 5 hundred thousand bikers, mostly men, to gather for a week of partying and hanging out together every summer?
• What is it that draws 10,000 men to a frozen lake in northern Minnesota to sit with fishing poles around holes in the ice in sub-zero temperatures?
• What is it about being in a deer stand quietly staring into the woods for endless hours waiting for a deer to show up?
• What is it that draws men who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan want to return so they can be with the men they served with?
