A Different Kind of Wild: Is Your Faith Too Tame?

by Debbie Alsdorf

Debbie Alsdorf wants women to get a little wild--a new and different wild that will enrich their sense of purpose, establish their faith, and lift their sagging spirits when life gets hard. In A Different Kind of Wild she encourages women to take back their lives and begin living how God intended--lives that are bigger and grander than the norm.
With passion and contagious enthusiasm, Alsdorf helps women break free of perfectionistic tendencies to live in untamed courageous obedience to God's leading. The book's twelve chapters and discussion questions make it perfect for small group study or for personal spiritual growth and direction.

My mother gave me this book all the way back when I attended middle school. I had started reading it but stopped shortly because let's be honest, spiritual matters weren't exactly on my mind at that age.

Fast forward to now, I am in my late 20s and decided maybe it's time to revisit this book. I am not a Christian anymore, but I wanted to see things from a new perspective. It took me a while to get through, however, the author makes several good points throughout the book. I still very much believe in God and it was a good reminder of what it means to be one of His children.

I wished I had read it years ago, but I am happy to have read it now. I will probably go right back to being how I usually am, as humans do, but that's not to say some of what Alsdorf wrote won't stay with me.

I certainly am wild, and I hope one day to be transformed into God's version of what it means to be wild.
