Exploring Courage in Light of the Gospel Throughout Scripture, important biblical figures have faced numerous adversities with remarkable courage. In the New Testament, the apostles endured persecution, imprisonment, and even death for spreading the good news of the gospel. Yet, amid their struggle, they continued to expand the kingdom of God—even rejoicing as they suffered for Christ. How can believers exhibit this same courage today? In Courage, author Joe Rigney explores the Christian virtue of fortitude and its connection to the gospel. From a theological perspective, Rigney argues that courage—used in the proper context—is a sign of God's salvation and a believer's faith in Christ. In this concise and practical book, readers will defeat feelings of anxiety, anger, and fear as they gain boldness from God to endure all of life's circumstances.

Over the past six years of my life, I have endeavored to walk with Christ. In my Christian walk I have had many questions; some of which were answered through preaching, others through the counseling of mentors, and still others through the information contained within books that I have had the privilege to read. Though many of these questions were unspoken I was still able to recognize the answers as they came. This book has opened a whole new world of understanding for me. Its chart, easy reading, and simple terminology made its wealth of information very palatable and easily digestible. Some of the fears that I have previously had about committing to extended fast have not only been addressed but also actually eliminated by the application of the principles I have received from this text.
