What age should he be to read it?

Question

Wild at Heart by John Eldredge

Referring to my brother.

I guess I mean more of "What age would he have to be to understand and benefit from this book?"

Answer 1

It actually depends on the maturity of the reader. Personally, I think you should be there, if you are worried to monitor his reading. If there are let's say...sensual or violence in the page you are reading, you might want to say to your son, hey's lets talk about it. It's better that he get the true facts right than getting all confused about the issue. You know what I mean? He then would be able to profit most from reading tha particular book.

Answer 2

I am not familiar with this particular book but I will relate what I think is the right answer anyway. When I was 10 I wanted to read a book from the library that was in the "adult" section and so the librarians would not allow me to have it. My Mother sent a note to them saying she was the only person to censor my reading and they were to let me take out any book I wished. My mother believed that if you understood what you were reading you were old enough and if you didn't understand it what was the harm. The book I wanted to read was The Diary of Anne Frank.
I read it and found it disturbing but also enlightening.

Answer 3

it depends on the persons personalyty in how is he going to take it, is he mature inmature stuff like that u should wonder.

Answer 4

Who are you referring to? Your son, brother, who? Please be more specific.
