Descripción editorial
Are you ready to stop wasting time and start turning your mundane life into one of adventure and blessing? Ken Harrison, Chairman and CEO of Promise Keepers, masterfully weaves together powerful stories and deep truths from Scripture to point you to the life for which God has called you.
Ask Christians what they expect to happen to them after they die, and most will say they will go to heaven. And they’ll probably say that they will meet Jesus and hope to hear Him say, “Well done good and faithful servant.” But many believers know they are not living up to God’s calling on their lives. In fact, many might even admit their lives don’t honor God at all—at least Mondays through Saturdays.
In A Daring Faith in a Cowardly World, Ken Harrison masterfully uses his stories as a Los Angeles police officer in one of the deadliest areas of the country to explain and illustrate deep truths from God’s Word. This isn’t your typical inspirational book—it’s a hard-hitting work that packs a lot of truth into an easy-to-read page-turner. Each chapter starts and ends with a gripping story that has a twist, a “rest of the story” at the end of the chapter, and packs intense biblical truth and wisdom in the middle. You will:
Have a clear picture of what being a true follower of Christ looks like and how to become oneGain insightful truths that lead to genuine “Aha!” moments in your lifeExperience stories you won’t forget and that create a lasting change to your faithLearn what the Bible says about the myriad of issues in today's culture
Are you ready to take the first step towards a more courageous and bold life lived in Jesus? In A Daring Faith in a Cowardly World, find the motivation you’ve been longing for.

"There is only one path to joy.... That is complete abandonment to Christ," contends Harrison (Rise of the Servant Kings), CEO of the fraternal Christian Promise Keepers organization, in this lackluster guide. After a near-fatal jet ski accident, Harrison realized he had been going through the motions of Christianity: "Christian life had been duty without passion, resisting sin without hatred of it." The author details how he afterward pursued a deeper faith, and he uses personal and historical anecdotes to illustrate practicing "courage" through belief. For example, Harrison tells the story of English Reformation leader Thomas Cranmer, who stood by his beliefs at penalty of death, commending Cranmer's bravery and noting that "fearlessness and joy go together." Some contradictions, however, will leave readers confused, such as when the author writes, "The message isn't for you to do more—it's for you to fall in love with Jesus," only to later assert that salvation hinges on doing "good works." Additionally, tone-deaf remarks tend to distract, as when Harrison notes that speaking with a flippant doctor "was like talking to someone who worked at McDonald's." This misses the mark.
