Publisher Description
A choice lies before you: Either waste your life or live with risk. Either sit on the sidelines or get in the game. After all, life was no cakewalk for Jesus, and he didn't promise it would be any easier for his followers. We shouldn't be surprised by resistance and persecution. Yet most of us play it safe.
We pursue comfort. We spend ourselves to get more stuff. And we prefer to be entertained. We are all tempted by the idea of security, the possibility of a cozy Christianity with no hell at the end. But what kind of life is that really? It's a far cry from adventurous and abundant, from truly rich and really full, and it's certainly not the heights and the depths Jesus calls us to.
Discover in these pages a foundation for fearlessness. Hear God's promise to go with you into the unknown. And let Risk Is Right help you see the joys of a faith-filled and seriously rewarding life of Jesus-dependent abandon!
Risk Is Right is a significantly expanded version of a chapter previously published in the book Don't Waste Your Life (chapter 5).

Worth the risk
What a great book. It really (to me) presses upon the heart of the Christian undecided in direction.
Disappointing
This book was really disappointing for me. It was basically 50 pages of direct quotes and summaries of the Bible. I could have read a reading plan on the YouVersion Bible app and saved $8.
Maybe my expectations were off but I was hoping to read more about real world applications of risk today. Instead, Piper gave examples from both the new and old testaments of how people risked their life for their faith. Again, all things I already know. It's not so practical today seeing as how there's not much opportunity to suffer for Christ, unless you count fighting your way through the picketers at Chick-Fil-A. ;)
