About this title

From the Inside Flap

A clarion call for you to boldly live out your faith

Christians today face relentless attacks from an ungodly culture, a formidable spiritual adversary, and our own fallen natures. Yet we cannot afford to surrender to these very real enemies. Because if we do, we fail in our mission to share the hope of Christ with the world.

Just as survivalists use strategies to overcome threatening situations, Courageous explains ten biblical strategies for surviving--and thriving--in a world that is hostile to our faith.

From the Back Cover

"If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, this is a must-read book! Though I have taught survival skills to Marines, Boy Scouts, my four kids, and now eighteen grandkids, it never occurred to me to apply these skills to living as a Christian in today's hostile environment. Thankfully, my friend Dr. Jeffress did--just in time."--Lt. Col. Oliver North, USMC (Ret.)

"It's one thing to say we have faith and another thing entirely to know how to live out that faith! In Courageous, my friend Robert Jeffress beautifully helps us understand how to put our faith into real action in our lives--which is of course the whole point!"--Eric Metaxas, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and host of the Eric Metaxas Show

"With all the uncertainty in our world right now, this new book by my friend Robert Jeffress is a welcome encouragement for believers. His Bible-based tips on thriving during challenging times are not only practical and easy to understand but will help you to stand strong in your faith and live victoriously."--Robert Morris, founding lead senior pastor of Gateway Church and bestselling author of The Blessed Life, Frequency, and Beyond Blessed

"In his remarkable new book, Dr. Jeffress shows us page-by-page how to live as winsome and effective ambassadors for Jesus Christ, all so that the perishing will come to salvation and God will receive the glory!
