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.

My thoughts:  This is a book sure to appeal to men -- INTO THE WILDS is full of adventure stories, near drownings, black mambas, lions on the hunt, Alaskan hunting trips and more. And not only that but Mr. Henderson includes faith messages with each and every adventure so a random male reader that picks up the book (but may not be a Christian) will be introduced to some part of the Bible and it's messages. 

I am not male but I enjoyed reading Mr. Henderson's adventures and misadventures and can understand why he'd be a sought-after speaker for organizations and churches,

I was excited to get a copy of this book free, and thought to give it to my adventurous son, the one who's in the military. But my pastor-husband wants the copy I got so I have preordered another copy for my son. He will love this book.  

I recommend this book to all adventurous men out there -- whether they live the adventure or live it vicariously. 

All opinions are my own.

Nice to see a book specific for men that women might enjoy, too. A perfect gift for men who are readers.
