In this book Eldredge says many of the same things he said in Wild at Heart, but offers more detailed and specific guidance. Or none has been a sequel until now with the upcoming release of The Way of the Wild Heart (due for release in October of 2006). Though John Eldredge has written other books since Wild at Heart, none has been a true sequel to the bestseller. In Fools Gold, edited by John MacArthur, Daniel Gillespie examined the book and nicely summarized the foremost problems with the book, suggesting it has: an insufficient view of Scripture an inadequate picture of God an incomplete portrait of Christ and an inaccurate portrait of man.

Though it debuted in 2001, it still remains near the top of the list of Christian bestsellers and has sold over three million copies, no small feat for a title marketed primarily to Christians.
