Against all hope he comes with cunning and raw courage he lays siege to the tower and the sinister one who holds her. Only a champion may win her only the most valiant, daring, and brave warrior has a chance of setting her free. But his lovely maiden is unattainable, the prisoner of an evil power who holds her captive in a dark tower.
Her heart is golden, her love as true as an arrow. Her flowing hair, her deep eyes, her luscious lips, her sculpted figure – she makes the rose blush for shame, the sun is pale compared to her light. She is young with a youth that seems eternal. She might be the daughter of the king or a common servant girl, but we know she is a princess at heart. Once upon a time (as the story goes) there was a beautiful maiden, an absolute enchantress. Here’s what Eldredge has to say about white knighting: Though its popularity seems to have waned a bit, it is still probably the most widely read and influential Christian men’s book out there. Perhaps the most pure expression of this is in John Eldredge’s 2001 New York Times bestselling book Wild at Heart. One of the most powerful paradigms of masculinity promoted by the Evangelical church is that of the white knight, the man who rides to the rescue whenever someone, especially a woman, finds herself in trouble.
