Courageous

A Novel

De: Randy Alcorn, Alex Kendrick, Stephen Kendrick

Narrado por: Roger Mueller

Four men, one calling: to serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, and their partners willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they’re quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark. They know that God desires to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, but their children are beginning to drift farther and farther away from them. Will they be able to find a way to serve and protect those who are most dear to them? When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God... and to their children? Bestselling author Randy Alcorn brings the heart-pounding drama of the screenplay by Alex and Stephen Kendrick to this inspiring novel that also includes subplots, characters, and backstory not seen in the movie.

very good book! I highly recommend it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a great book about what God is truly calling fathers and husbands to be in this sin filled world.

Tough Subjects

The story was told from multiple points of view. Difficult emotional subjects handled with sensitivity and a good deal of humor. I was engaged from beginning to end.

What did you like best about Courageous? What did you like least?

A jaw-dropping young police officer once told me he and his colleagues went to "choir practice" every Wednsday after work. I was looking for religious connections at the time; I took him litterally. I would have devoured this book at that time, but I'm just of the wrong population to appreciate it today.

Has Courageous turned you off from other books in this genre?

Sorry, I don't know which genre this would be in. Teens? Self development? Fiction?

Have you listened to any of Roger Mueller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was Courageous worth the listening time?

Sure.

Any additional comments?

I did enjoy being entertained with a minimum of profanity and loads of positive inspiration. Roger Mueller was perfect for this work.

Loved it!!!

This book is amazing and the narrator is very good, his Spanish accent had me surprised, he sounds exactly like a Hispanic!!!!

What is all the hype about?

Another one that I forced myself to finish. Too much hype about the book/movie ruined it for me to the point that I have the movie unopened. Too much packed into one story for me.
I have never liked Randy Alcorn but thought I would see if this was different.

Bottom line - not for me.
