Courageous

A Novel

By: Randy Alcorn, Alex Kendrick, Stephen Kendrick

Narrated by: Roger Mueller

Four men, one calling: to serve and protect. 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? Bestselling author Randy Alcorn brings the heart-pounding drama of the screenplay by Alex and Stephen Kendrick to this inspiring novel that also includes subplots, characters, and backstory not seen in the movie.

very good book! I highly recommend it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a great book about what God is truly calling fathers and husbands to be in this sin filled world.

A great book to add to your library

This is a great book for fathers and sons to read. It brings us back to our rolls and how we can impact the next generation if we try. It also puts a challenge to bring our lives up a notch as christians. We are here to be an example to others.

Inspirational

A friend of mine has watched the movie many times. She bought me the movie for Christmas. I prefered to read the book before seeing a movie. Although the movie was good, the book is much better!

Amazing story

I loved this book! We need to pray for our officers who put their lives on the line and for unity in our country

Great movie ok book

I'm a little torn on this review because I love the storyline, the people and the message. the problem I have is that with this novel from a movie the author tried to hold everything in the movie while adding to the plot which made it seem a little choppy. The are some good new twists and a couple of ok new personalities that could have added to the book but instead they seemed forced. this is my first book by this author so I'm not sure if it's him or the circumstances. I do know this.... when these brothers had War Room made into a novel they did it right so don't give up on the idea. Also lose the music between chapters 😨.
