Courageous Faith Study Guide

Life happens―to everyone.

From beginning to end, through joy and heartache, in good times and bad, we are in a constant state of transition if we are alive. Join Ted Pagel Jr. in Courageous Faith: Overcoming Obstacles on the Road to Freedom as he chronicles how the ancient Israelites transitioned from four hundred years of slavery in Egypt to embrace full freedom in the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership.

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you can follow the Israelites' steps and learn how to:

• Overcome the Jerichos in your life.

• Find victory after defeat.

• Never give up on your dreams.

• Find your place of refuge.

• Never settle for less than God's best.

It takes courageous faith to be fundamentally changed into the likeness of Christ, but you, too, can "be strong and courageous . . . for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9, NIV).
