Narration Conducive To Books Courageous
Retailers Choice Award winner, 2012From the creators of "Fireproof" comes an inspiring new story about everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, and their partners willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they're quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark. They know that God desires to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, but their children are beginning to drift farther and farther away from them. Will they be able to find a way to serve and protect those who are most dear to them? When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God . . . and to their children?Details Books Toward Courageous

A very exciting book from Randy Alcorn. Starting out, I kept getting confused with who was who. I never saw the movie that this book was based on, if I had, I would probably be able to keep up with the novel. Otherwise, it was a very good story based on the Sheriff's department in Albany, Georgia.I really liked the opportunities that Adam (the main character) had in witnessing to those who were lost. These opportunities showed how to witness to the lost, and to follow up with them. I also likedMY REVIEW-WOW!! This is about all I am going to say about this book. I have been anxiously awaiting the next film from the Kendrick brothers after watching Fireproof. I get the updates, have the wallpaper on my laptop and I now have the book!Now, I don't want to spoil anything for those who have not watched the movie or have not read the book. So I am going to be somewhat cryptic in this review. Not like my normal ones where people can know who I am talking about, etc. I just really want to give
Many of the principles given to father's in this book would apply to mothers also. Well-written and intensely emotional at times, I am so glad I read it and would recommend it to Christian parents!
OMG! if I could get away with no star I would have chosen no rating at all. My partner and I went to see this movie because the synopsis in no way indicated that it would be far damn cheaper to go to church to be preached at.When I go to a movie and pay $10 I expect to be entertained and see a good plot in action for two hours that will grasp my imagination. It became quite clear to us within minutes that what was being inflicted on us was having bloody religion shoved down our throats. Religion
This was very, very good! Five stars for solid story and Christian message. It nailed it calling fathers to responsibility. I would advise caution for younger readers as it deals a lot with drugs and the world that goes with.
At first I was disappointed with the writing; the characters seemed two-dimentional and stereotypical. Then I realized that they weren't stereotypes they were archetypes. Instead of having strong characters which were clearly individuals, Alcorn has created characters which could be anyone. We can see them as templates for people we know.On to the story. 4 men, very different, all face different challenges of integrity and courage in their daily lives: being a good father, husband, provider,
As a disclaimer, I have seen the movie, so I was familiar with the storyline, plot, etc. So this *may* have influenced my review just a bit. This book was practically verbatim of the movie. At first it drove me just a bit insane, because it seemed to be a bit choppy in the flow. THere wasn't a lot of description, but I could picture it because I had watched the movie. The characters and everything else seemed as if they might would have been a bit shallow and they lacked depth . . . but again, I
