Synopsis

Available in both an adult and a youth edition, Danger Calling features 16 true stories that take readers on a high-adrenaline ride--from the depths of the sea to the top of Mount Everest and everywhere in between--and pose provocative questions that move men and teen boys forward in their lives and faith. Danger Calling challenges readers to discover if they are truly living out God's game plan for their lives: Would you stop to help a climber in the "death zone" on Everest? What is your source of strength in a crisis? Could you lead others into battle knowing some are likely to die? To what challenge is God summoning you right now? Each story thrills and engages. Each set of questions challenges readers to discover who they are, where they stand in their faith, and whether God is calling them to a life of greater risks and deeper meaning.

The youth edition contains a combination of eight stories of youth adventures, as well as eight from the adult version. Both books are perfect for small group use and include study questions with each chapter.

From the Back Cover

Becoming a man is about much more than age. It's about sacrifice, perseverance, courage, and leadership.

Through sixteen true stories of daring and adventure, Danger Calling challenges you to discover if you are living out God's game plan for your life. From the depths of the sea to the top of Mount Everest and everywhere in between, this high-adrenaline ride confronts you with provocative questions such as:

Would you stop to help a climber in the Death Zone on Everest?
What is your source of strength in a crisis?
Could you lead others into battle knowing some will die?
To what challenge is God summoning you right now?
How much are you willing to risk?

Each high-octane adventure will thrill you. Each set of questions will challenge you to discover who you are, who you want to be, where you stand in your faith, and whether God is calling you to experience greater risks and deeper meaning. You can tackle this journey on your own or use Danger Calling as a guidebook for your group of fellow adventurers. Either way, you'll find yourself on a trail filled with danger yet well worth the risks.
